Mind control breakthrough for paralysed man

A SEVERELY paralysed man has become the first person to be fitted with a brain implant that allows him to control everyday objects by thought alone.

The victim of a knife attack which severed his spinal cord, 25-year-old Matthew Nagle, from the US, was told four years ago he would never walk again.

He has become the first patient to control an artificial limb using a device implanted into his brain.
