Mar 20, 2007 (New Scientist - ABIX via COMTEX) -- Gerald Loeb, of the University of Southern California, US, has developed artificial neurons that stimulate muscle in a coordinated way. Such neurons may help people left paralysed by a stroke, cerebral palsy or spinal-cord injury regain some movement in limbs. Loeb is now developing a system that will coordinate a network of artificial neurons. The system will work by picking up weak residual signals from the brain which will be transmitted to a wearable control unit.
