This article discusses how a paralyzed woman has been able to fly a jet fighter in a simulator using her mind. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has disclosed information on how 55 year old Jan Scheuermann has successfully used her mind to fly a jet simulator directly without using a joystick by having probes placed on her brain. With new technological advancements everyday, this new discovery could help scientists better understand freeing the brain from the limitations of a body. It’s really exciting to see how far this agency can go with this advancement.
