Keith Thomas, a New Yorker paralyzed from the chest down, regained some mobility and sensation thanks to an AI brain implant from Northwell Health's Feinstein Institute of Bioelectronic Medicine. Researchers mapped his brain with MRIs, pinpointing areas responsible for arm movements and touch sensation. They implanted microchips in his brain and attached sensors to his fingertips and palms, creating a system called "thought-driven therapy."
