New device allows brain to bypass spinal cord, move paralyzed limbs

For the first time ever, a paralyzed man can move his fingers and hand with his own thoughts thanks to a new device. A 23-year-old quadriplegic is the first patient to use Neurobridge, an electronic neural bypass for spinal cord injuries that reconnects the brain directly to muscles, allowing voluntary and functional control of a paralyzed limb.

Fucking Wow!

IMAGINE IF WE BUILD AN ENTIRE SUIT FOR THEM!

I just had a great superhero idea…

Cortex! They broke his back, but not his mind! 

 He was a soldier sent on a mission overseas to retrieve some secret documents for the government. After delivering the information, a blast from a land mine left him a paraplegic and was shortly abandoned by the very government he fought to serve. His neuroscientist wife builds him a suit that lets him regain his ability to move by bypassing the spine completely. But a greater conspiracy starts to unfold as he discovered that the mission was meant to kill him, someone was trying to take him and his team out. But why? What did he know that was too dangerous for the government to let them live? He and his wife plan to find out. In this action packed adventure, he will learn what it means to be a hero.
