Steve Holbert was paralyzed in a dirt bike accident in late 2009. His hope is to completely recover from his spinal cord injury and one day walk again. That #39;s why he #39;s agreed to participate in the research of Jose Luis "Pepe" Contreras-Vidal, professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Houston #39;s Cullen College of Engineering and director of the Laboratory for Non-invasive Brain-Machine Interface Systems. Contreras-Vidal is working on a brain-machine interface (BMI) that would allow patients like Holbert to control prosthetic limbs through their own thoughts.From:UHmultimediaViews:4 1ratingsTime:01:05More inScience Technology
