A significant breakthrough in neurotechnology allows man paralyzed from the waist down to drive a race car.
‘It’s An Amazing Experience’: Man Paralyzed From Waist Down Drives Uses Microchip Implanted In Brain To Drive Racecar– The revving engine of a race car outside Fountain Wednesday morning was the sound of a major breakthrough in a technology that could one day change the lives of people who are mobility challenged. The man behind the wheel of the 850 horsepower NASCAR Cup race car was German Aldana Zuniga of Miami.
Nine years after a life-altering car wreck, Zuniga used his thoughts to drive Wednesday. It’s a technological breakthrough pioneered by a team led by Dr. Scott Falci, a Colorado neurosurgeon with Health ONE’s Falci Institute for Spinal Cord Injuries. The group also included electrical engineer Dr. Harry Direen, and Kevin Davis with the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine’s Miami Project to Cure Paralysis.
“The electrical changes get picked up on that electrode, travel down a cable underneath his skin to a little computer processor,” Falci said.
