A group of researchers (Lorach et al.) recently published a study showing technology that allowed a paraplegic man to walk again using only his thoughts. It's called a brain-spine interface and has 3 parts: something that reads the brain waves (electrocorticography implant), a computer that decodes the brain signals into useable information, and a spinal implant that stimulates the nerves responsible for walking. What's crazy is that the computer uses Bluetooth to communicate with the spinal implant.
And interesting side note, the spinal implant is a repurposed deep brain stimulator used for patients with Parkinson's disease!
