In our morning rounds. A quadriplegic man is able to move his hands again thanks to Ground Breaking technology. First of a kind system that uses a paralyzed patients brain waves to guide his muscles. We first introduced you to this extraordinary research in 2014. Adrianna diaz talked to the team. Reporter when we first met ian burker two years ago this scientific breakthrough. He had not moved his hands since severing his spine in a diving accident six years ago, until he did what no quadriplegic has ever done move his own muscles with his thoughts. I thought it was really crazy that we were able to even move my hand, originally. And now to be able to do all of the different tasks that we can do, its mind blowing. Reporter mind blowing because a paralyzed man can now play the guitar. A toy one. But still. Im most excited about the movements that are just everyday movements in life. Picking up a cup. Pouring it into Something Else. Or picking up a credit card and swiping it through a credit card reader. Reporter things he thought he would never do again. The fruit of hundreds of hours of practice. Reporter hes even surprised his research team, including engineer nick anita of patell the company that built the system. We have made a ton of progress since the last time you saw us and its actually it shocked us what ian has been able to do. Reporter two years ago, a micro chip was implanted into the part of ians brand that controls movement. A cable transmits the brain signals through a port in his head to a computer. The computer then decodes his thoughts about movement and beams commands to electrodes in a sleeve that stimulate his muscles like an out of body spinal cord. Does it weird you out at all that a computer is essentially reading your mind . No. Im glad they can find something up there. Reporter but there are limitations. Ian has had hardware in his head for two years. People ever ask you about it. Sometimes, i think a lot of people look at it and are afraid to ask. Its not too bad any more. Reporter he has been tow hospital for it all to work. Ian not able to take home this in this when he goes back and leaves this session is the biggest shame involved. The brain. Reporter the neurosurgeon leading the team at the Ohio State University center. He says the apparatus could become portable in a decade. I think no reason why this technology cannot be used to make somebody who is paralyzed to walk again or quadriplegic to move their arms. Reporter ians movement is shortlived for now. The chip will be removed when the Clinical Trial ends this summer. Ian is having an incredible experience and you have to take this away . I wish we didnt have to. Reporter ian says he doesnt mind. There might be something that im just helping further generations and im completely fine with that. Reporter for ian, any chance to outmaneuver paralysis is a move in the right direction.
