A neuroscientist by the name of Grégoire Courtine, working out of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (École Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL)), has spent over a decade creating a device that will act as an interface that will link the brain to the lower spinal column. This brain-spine implant will allow the user to circumvent their spinal column in order to stimulate any previously severed nerves and cause their limbs to move.
