  and have almost full function of that hip over that period of time.
  而且几乎和正常人没一点差别

  This is an example of a rudimentary brain machine interface.
  这是一个脑机接口界面的示范
• 
  
  It's a device called a deep brain stimulator,
  这个装置叫做深部脑刺激器
• 
  
  developed by a company called Medtronic,
  由美敦力公司研发

• 
  
  But instead of those signals going to your heart they go into the brain.
  但这些电信号针对的不是心脏而是大脑
• 
  
  They go through these wires and
  电信号通过这些线路
• 
  
  into these electrodes that are deep in your brain,
  传递至植入于大脑的电极中
• 
  
  and they stimulate tissue inside the brain.
  由此刺激大脑中的组织
• 
  
  We've found that stimulation,
