New Emerging Tech Topic - A Brain Chip to Control Paralyzed Limbs

The innovations and emerging technologies in the biomedical field is quite fascinating to me. I found this article on Tech review called "A Brain Chip to Control Paralyzed Limbs". Essentially, a "tiny chip containing 100 electrodes that record signals from hundreds of neurons in the motor cortex, the part of the brain that modulates movement. A computer algorithm then translates this complex pattern of activity into a signal used to control a computer or prosthetic limb." This opens many doors for patients suffering from paralysis and offers returned motor function for the physically impaired.
