The Control Freak
Man controls technology by brain alone
Matthew Nagle 25 was paralysed in 2001 after a serious knife attack; from his neck down. Five years from this date he has defied technology by undergoing a new experiment in which he is labled as a guinea pig. a small mind chip was implanted in his head. He has allegedly been able to control t.v and move objects with his robotic arm by using the power of his mind.
He is the first patient in trail of this brain implant so doctors can't determain if his artificial arm will have; if any side affects or long time effects to the human brain.
The robotic arm was just metal outstreched in front of him after concentration the open arm slowly clenched into a tight fist around an open palm, that was the moment Matthew Nagle went down in history as the first person to have controlled an artificial limb controlled by a device chronically implanted above his skull.
Aficionados of technology dream of a future where the brain implants would return ability to those it was stolen from who were able; allowing them to control a range of devices by thought alone to those dissabled.
