| | I was watching a television program a few nights ago called 'Beyond Tommorow'.
They had a segment on about a engeneering breakthrough. A university in North America have discovered that a unique sea eel (Lamp Eel) has INDIVIDUAL nerve centres in every part of it's spinal cord. The university started to study the nerve waves and record it, transfer it to digital data and then send it into an artificial robot. These nerve waves made this robot walk in a human-like way.
Soon this university plans to make two microchips to implant in the broken spinal cord of a paraplegic person (One to send and one to recieve). And make them walk once again.
Amazing, huh?!

This is a great breakthrough if it is possible. I am sure some people would be slightly concerned about having a computer chip implanted in their spine.
