The electronic brain implants are allowing Gert-Jan Oskam to walk again (Credit: Gilles Weber/CHUV /CC-BY-SA-2.0)

Gert-Jan Oskam was just 28 years old when a cycling accident damaged his spinal cord in 2011. The injury resulted in paralysis of his legs and a partial impairment of movement in his arms. Now, thanks to electronic brain implants, the 40-year-old Dutch man can stand, walk, and even climb stairs through just the power of his thoughts.

          That is Crazy! Can you imagine not being able to walk and then learning how to walk again?

                    Oh that's cool, I've been hearing a lot about new inventions that are being made for the brain. There should be a machine that shows images of what you are thinking :)
