The best pubs in Paris
Find the perfect pint in Paris at one of these great pubs
UDO Bar
Saint-Ambroise
price 1 of 4
This rowdy neighbourhood bar is like an idealised outpost of Berlin, with its trendy minimal electro soundtrack, easy-going atmosphere, imported beers and, of course, currywurst. Wash it all down generously with the beers on tap – two light and fruity Paulaners, Früh Kolsch and Kölschkranz. There's also a great range of well-regarded German beers like Triple Cauwe, Rohaus and Jever. And of course there's always room for a shot of Jägermeister or a Moscow Mule – or rhubarb vodka, if you want to remind yourself of school dinners while drinking. At busy times it can get difficult to make your way between the mismatched tables, or even to find a place to dance – but we like bobbing around in close communion with our neighbours, noisily clinking glasses.
Bouillon Belge
Café bars
Opened in 2011, this pub sells only the divine Belgian beverage. Drinkers here will struggle to choose between around a hundred bottled beers, or can opt for one of the ten beers on tap. Fruity, dry, light, strong, blond, amber, brown… all tastes are catered for in the international selection, though naturally Belgian breweries get above-average representation. The young staff are full of enthusiasm for their wares, helping it along with low prices (all draught beers at maximum €3.50), quiz nights and tastings. You might think that the bar would be full to bursting with all the casks, but thanks to ingenious design the basement stays free for chanson Française, folk, rock and pop gigs. And to go with the drinks? Paper cones full of chips as served back home in Belgium, on clever stands that leave your hands free for your pint. Other snacks and dishes are also on offer, like carbonade flamande (a traditional Belgian beef casserole cooked with beer and spiced bread), mixed salads, burgers and pastas.
Stolly's
Don't know what to do on Paddy's day in Paris? Stolly's is a good bet, a full throttle Irish pub in the middle of the Marais. Here, foreigners and the French mix freely, with plenty of laughter and clinking of glasses in a cheerful, if pretty raucous atmosphere. 'Hangovers installed here!' is the catchphrase, they do their best to deliver: beer is served in enormous 1.5 litre pitchers, setting the room spinning from a fairly early hour. If you're off beer, there are cocktails or whisky, with a good menu of ten-year-old Scotches. The soundtrack is rock, and the delightful micro terrace gets a special mention, as good (heated) in winter as it is in summer.
Quartier latin
The oldest Irish pub on the left bank, and one of the three oldest in Paris. Unlike many of its blander contemporaries, Connolly's Corner could almost be mistaken for an authentic Dublin tavern. It's squirrelled away on the Rue Mouffetard, an area that counts plenty of soulless pubs, so happy are those who find it, for it's said to serve the best Guinness in Paris. There are also innumerable excellent whiskies decorating the shelf behind the bar.No one wears their Sunday best here. It's just the regulars, a few passing students, and connoisseurs who know that the venue hosts darts tournaments and concerts and, what's more, a magnificent collection of ties. This is thanks to the tradition (now abandoned) requiring anyone wearing a tie to cut it off and offer it up to the proprietor. Happy hour runs from 4pm to 8pm, which gives you time for multiple pints of Guinness, thoroughly testing that 'best in town' claim.
Le Teddy's Bar
Bars often show gregarious instincts, clustering together on one street. Exhibit A, the Rue Mouffetard, which seethes with Sorbonne students, college kids and tourists who pounce on anything beer-shaped after or between classes. Among the many bars strewn around here, we particularly like Teddy's for its choice of beers and cocktails, its interminable happy hours (from 3.30pm til 8pm) and for its welcoming, low-key atmosphere. It's good to curl up in the sofas and have one's back tickled by the leopard-skin-covered walls while sipping the beer of the month, be it a cold Bavaroise or a Trappist Belgian variety. While you're doing that, the student regulars will be seeking out the pub cat, René, who's possessed of his own Facebook page, René Miaou, with 230 friends. René used to hang out at the bar next door, the Descartes, but he moved to Teddy's and we know why – it's hard to beat as a venue for being caressed and pampered by pretty girls. You could always try and give him a run for his money.
Le Requin Chagrin
'Requin Chagrin', or the 'narked shark', actually comes from Réunion creole slang, meaning 'old prostitute'. At the Requin Chagrin, broke students laugh with pleasure as, unlike at the other bars in the area, having a few drinks here won't break the bank. The cosy wooden bar is filled with tall round tables where students sip on pints of Guinness, Hoegaarden or Grimberger from a wide selection – a 'tasting platter' of a dozen beers is only €12. One could also opt for a whiskey, house cocktail, or rum punch (another nod to the West Indies?). On game nights, large screens are set up throughout the bar, and the atmosphere instantly changes, hoots and hollers filling the air. A second room in the basement houses a U-shaped bar, which encourages spontaneous conversation and making new friends. The décor is constantly changing based on the night's festivities, such as sports games, parties, etc. On weekends, the Requin Chagrin welcomes after-hours drinkers with a 4am closing time. In the summer, there's a small, pleasant terrace that overlooks the charming pedestrian square, Place de la Contrescarpe, and its bubbling fountain.
Le Mange Disc
Paris et sa banlieue
Now there's another reason to head to Montreuil apart from the Marché aux Puces, in the form of great new neighbourhood bar Le Mange Disc. One major draw is the sun terrace, while the main attraction is the old-fashioned and charming rock'n'roll ambiance that harks back to the 1980s rockabilly revival. At the bar, a record player blasts out doo-wop, teen rock and rhythm and blues, while a bartender with slicked-back hair asks warmly, 'What can I serve you, pet?' (or rather, 'mon p'tit loup', 'my little wolf'). You can enjoy cheap, original beers (Rince-cochon or Montreuilloise, for example) but watch out – they pack quite an alcoholic punch. A few too many of those and you might end up making a tit of yourself in a table football match against the practiced regulars. There's also a calendar of exhibitions, DJ sets and concerts, despite the grumbles of the neighbours.
Café Titon
Charonne
Having fallen in love with Germany during a holiday to Berlin, the owners of this café began to import German products and traditions, creating a nice Franco-German ambiance. The success was immediate, attracting devotees of both classic Croque Monsieurs and traditional German currywurst, a German sausage in a curry sauce with crisps. During Oktoberfest, Café Titon becomes a fully-fledged biergarten. German beer aficionados will be ecstatic to find Paulaner, Erdinger, and even Franziskaner Dunkel. Outside of currywurst and bratwurst, the menu is mostly centred on French cuisine with tartares, large salads, steaks, and sandwiches.
Troll Café
Oh Belgium, with its crisps shacks and its beers! The Troll Café, hidden in a small road near the Bastille in front of Nul Bar Ailleurs, is a pub that honours the glory of barley malt and hops, well worth the stop for those weary of Amstel. The menu has 120 Belgian beer options, in all their forms: on tap, bottle, brown, white and amber. The choice is so vast that your best bet is to ask the bartenders for advice on choosing between, for example, bottles from Duvel, Chimay, Orval, Westmalle, Chouffe and even Ch'ti. For a really exceptional taste, the bartender can help you pick one of seven beers meticulously made by Trappist monks using centuries-old recipes. On tap, there are artisanal beers like Troll or Delirium Tremens. In terms of décor, vintage beer posters for Krieg, Mort Subite, and others cover the walls. The ambiance is fun without being crazy, and even on football nights you can still chill and sip your beer.
Located at a famous address in the Stock Market quarter, The Lions is a traditional English pub where bankers love to come and de-stress with an after-work drink. But they're not the only ones who frequent this pub, which welcomes amateur beer lovers, Brits and sports fans with a blue façade and distinguished interior that set it apart from the competition. Once comfortably installed (come early to get a seat!) you'll be well placed for football matches, rugby matches or just a bite of your burger – a burger that will be impossible to resist, what with all the amazing smells wafting under your nose all night. Experts know that The Lions is one of the best places in Paris to watch the match, even though some nights are given over to quiz nights (Mondays) and shots nights (Wednesdays).

If you thought Korean food is all about bibimbap and ramyeon, I am going to prove you wrong.
A new Korean restaurant has opened up in JEM and it's all about fusion pizzas and jjamppongs.
Nipong Naepong offers sets that make it cheaper to dine with large group of friends. Soda Set and Ade Set (500ml) are both priced at $50.80, the components are basicallly the same, Ade Set comes with 500ml of ade (sweet, fruit-flavored drink) 2 ppong and 1 pizza while the Soda Set comes with 2 sodas (Coke/Sprite/Lemon/Apple/Grape). The most expensive Ade Set (1L) [$54.80] tops up ade of your choice to 1 little.
This is Nipong Naepong's signature Ninae Pizza-Spinach [$18.80]. Trust the Koreans to come up with a weird pizza that combines cream cheese, spinach and cherry tomatoes. This is both a savoury and sweet pizza all in one. If you eat it on its own, it is a savoury pizza. If you drizzle some honey on it, it instantly becomes a dessert pizza. I just have one question: why are the spinach in the middle raw?
Coco Pizza-Coconut [$16.80] is definitely a dessert pizza, no doubt about it. What makes this pizza special is the base of this pizza is actually made of tortilla. It gives this pizza the thin and crispy base that goes really well with the sweet cream cheese and shredded coconut. Have it with the fresh whipped cream for additional kick.
This is Cha Ppong [$15.80], the classic seafood jjamppong that is commonly found in Korea. There are two spicy levels for this and I am already crying with just level 1. The soup is rich with the sweet aroma of seafood but the noodles are slightly soggy.
Non-spicy eater and cream-lovers like me are better suited for Vongole Ppong [$16.80]. The broth is a mixture of white wine, fragrant garlic and briny clams. The noodles are still a little soggy but the broth gives this ppong an Italian feel.
This Lychee Yogurt [$12.90 for 1L (3-4 persons), $7.90 for 500ml (1-2 persons)] tastes almost like ice-blended lychee, the lychee tastes is very strong, with a slight creaminess from the yogurt.
Green Grape Soda [$7.90 for 500ml, $12.90 for 1L) is a new beverage but I personally feel that it loses to the Lychee Yogurt. It is refreshing and perfect for those who like carbonated drinks.
If you are sick of bibimbap and ramyeons, do give Nipong Naepong a try the next time you are in Westgate. You will be pleasantly surprised at how well the fusion dishes taste.

 NIOSHTIC-2 Publications Search - 20043250 - Historical reconstruction of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) exposures for workers in a capacitor manufacturing plant.
We developed a semiquantitative job exposure matrix (JEM) for workers exposed to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) at a capacitor manufacturing plant from 1946 to 1977. In a recently updated mortality study, mortality of prostate and stomach cancer increased with increasing levels of cumulative exposure estimated with this JEM (trend p values=0.003 and 0.04, respectively). Capacitor manufacturing began with winding bales of foil and paper film, which were placed in a metal capacitor box (preassembly), and placed in a vacuum chamber for floodfilling (impregnation) with dielectric fluid (PCBs). Capacitors dripping with PCB residues were then transported to sealing stations where ports were soldered shut before degreasing, leak testing, and painting. Using a systematic approach, all 509 unique jobs identified in the work histories were rated by predetermined process- and plant-specific exposure determinants; then categorized based on the jobs' similarities (combination of exposure determinants) into 35 job exposure categories. The job exposure categories were ranked followed by a qualitative PCB exposure rating (baseline, low, medium, and high) for inhalation and dermal intensity. Category differences in other chemical exposures (solvents, etc.) prevented further combining of categories. The mean of all available PCB concentrations (1975 and 1977) for jobs within each intensity rating was regarded as a representative value for that intensity level. Inhalation (in microgram per cubic milligram) and dermal (unitless) exposures were regarded as equally important. Intensity was frequency adjusted for jobs with continuous or intermittent PCB exposures. Era-modifying factors were applied to the earlier time periods (1946-1974) because exposures were considered to have been greater than in later eras (1975-1977). Such interpolations, extrapolations, and modifying factors may introduce non-differential misclassification; however, we do believe our rigorous method minimized misclassification, as shown by the significant exposure- response trends in the epidemiologic analysis.

Tip Of The Iceberg: Strong Showing At Hlinka Gretzky Cup Only The Beginning For Jake Livanavage
Evan Oscherwitz Posted August 14, 2021 at 12:59 pm

While Team USA failed to register a podium finish at the 2021 Hlinka Gretzky Cup, a tournament featuring the best U18 ice hockey players in the world, the play of Jake Livanavage represented a major bright spot for the Americans.
Livanavage, a 17 year-old defenseman from Gilbert who previously starred for the Phoenix Junior Coyotes, became only the fourth Arizonan to ever participate in the tournament, and started off his draft year in authoritative fashion. He posted four points in four games, finished tied for ninth place in scoring out of 160 skaters and scored two goals and an assist in the United States' 10-0 dismantling of Germany.

— Steven Ellis (@StevenEllisTHN) August 4, 2021
"It was a great experience and a big part of my hockey career," he said. "It was a lot of fun, being able to get [my] name out there and see the different countries, see how they play and see how we stack up against them. It wasn't the outcome we wanted as a team but getting over there (to the Czech Republic) and getting to wear the USA jersey, being able to represent your country, it was an amazing honor."
Livanavage's strong performance on the international stage comes on the heels of an equally outstanding season with the USHL's Chicago Steel. Despite being one of the league's youngest players at the start of the year, he managed to secure a regular spot in the Steel's lineup, appearing in 43 of the team's 54 regular season contests and all seven of their playoff games as they cruised to a Clark Cup championship.
"It was a pretty hard adjustment going from U15 hockey to the USHL, but the Steel organization and the staff made it a lot easier," Livanavage said. "We realized probably a fourth of the way through the season that we had a special, special group. Going through the season with all the ups and downs and all the adversity we had, we stuck with it and everybody believed."
An offensive defenseman by trade, Livanavage says that playing on a team like the Steel, which boasted a wealth of talented scorers, helped his development by allowing him to focus on his defensive play and putting less pressure on him to produce offensively. With many of the Steel's top forwards from last season moving on to the college ranks, he should have an excellent opportunity to fill the void left by their absences and dramatically improve on his point totals from 2020 while maintaining the level of defensive prowess that kept him in the lineup as a 16 year-old.
"Last year as a younger kid, I wasn't going to light the lamp a hundred times and do all that stuff, so I was really focused on my defensive zone play," he said. "If we get stuck in our d-zone I like to tell myself that I'm able to play defense and I'm not just a fourth forward out there."
Livanavage hopes that the time he has devoted to perfecting his all-around game will pay dividends for him this season, his first as an NHL Draft-eligible player. Having seen several of his teammates selected early in the 2021 draft, including fellow Arizona native Josh Doan, he fully understands the importance of having a strong draft year. While he realizes that there will be ample pressure on him to play at a high level due to the impressive amount of talent in the 2022 draft class, Livanavage is approaching the upcoming season as he would any other year.
"That's something that's always in the back of your mind," he said. "This is my draft year, it's a big year and I've got to perform. Learning from those guys who got drafted this past year, you can't focus on [the draft], you've got to focus on the team aspect. I want to come back and win another Clark Cup. I haven't focused much on [individual goals], I would say just getting bigger and stronger would be the main one."
Breaking down the 18 straight to the point reasons why we believe Jake Livanavage @jakers_77 @jlivanavage is one of the best NHL Draft prospects in the 2004 DOB age group… https://t.co/YNnZrBgZOI
— The Scouting News (@hockeyscouting) August 5, 2021
The 2021-22 season will likely be Livanavage's last with the Steel barring unforeseen circumstances, as he has committed to play college hockey for the University of North Dakota, a program that has produced NHL superstars like Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews and United States Olympic hero T.J. Oshie. Arizona State might have seemed like a natural fit due to Livanavage's Arizona roots, but it was UND's history of success and reputation for developing NHL talent that ultimately won him over.
"Just trying to make a dream come true," Livanavage said. "Seeing what [North Dakota] has, from their coaching staff to the facilities, and obviously the school factor. All the teachers want to see you succeed in the classroom and on the ice as well. You look at their past, they have championships, everything. That was a huge part of it."
Although his performance at the Hlink Gretzky Cup was a coming-out party of sorts for Livanavage, it may only be scratching the surface of what he can accomplish as a player. His offensive skill set is one that cannot be developed through coaching, and at just 17 years of age, there is still plenty of room for him to blossom into an even more dominant force than he currently is. The coming season might be crucial in deciding his draft position, but it will only play a small role in determining his hockey future.
Whether his breakout happens this winter or later on down the road, Livanavage is one of the finest defenseman to ever emerge from Arizona's youth hockey system, and he will certainly be one to keep an eye on for years to come.

Poem Banned from British Exam Syllabus
From the Manifesto Club comes this news of a poem removed by the AQA (the awarding body for A-level exams and GCSE's) from the GCSE (General certificate of secondary education) syllabus in Great Britain.
The poem is entitled "Education for Leisure" and was written by the award-winning poet, Carol Ann Duffy. It can be found here.
Syllabi change all the time, but this case is special, since the decision to remove it was spurred by an exam invigilator, Pat Schofield, who apparently felt the poem glorified knife crime. She is quoted as saying, "I think it is absolutely horrendous - what sort of message is that to give to kids who are reading it as part of their GCSE syllabus?"
What's next, banning The Charge of the Light Brigade because it glorifies suicidal military exploits?
The AQA itself responded with these weasel words: "The decision to withdraw the poem was not taken lightly and only after due consideration of the issues involved. We believe the decision underlines the often difficult balance that exists between encouraging and facilitating young people to think critically about difficult but important topics and the need to do this in a way which is sensitive to social issues and public concern."
It looks like Carol Ann Duffy got the last laugh, however. She's written a response entitled Mrs. Schofield's GCSE. How fitting that Schofield, like Bowdler, will pass into the language as a synonym for small-minded censorship.
Mrs Schofield's GCSE
Carol Ann Duffy
You must prepare your bosom for his knife,
said Portia to Antonio in which
of Shakespeare's Comedies? Who killed his wife,
insane with jealousy? And which Scots witch
knew Something wicked this way comes? Who said
Is this a dagger which I see? Which Tragedy?
Whose blade was drawn which led to Tybalt's death?
To whom did dying Caesar say Et tu? And why?
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark - do you
know what this means? Explain how poetry
pursues the human like the smitten moon
above the weeping, laughing earth; how we
make prayers of it. Nothing will come of nothing:
speak again. Said by which King? You may begin.

McCain Mangles English Again
I wrote about this before. John McCain mangles English almost as much as George Bush. On two occasions he's used the nonexistent word "epitat" instead of "epithet", and now a report from the Boston Globe has him saying "predicate" instead of "precedent".

Guitarist Tony McManus in Elora
One of the nicest things about having a blog is meeting interesting people online, and then in real life. (Of course, you also meet some unpleasant loonies, but that's fodder for another post.)
Last May Recursivity got some fan mail from Tony McManus, a guitarist who lives in nearby Elora, Ontario. Actually, calling him a "guitarist" is somewhat of an understatement; he has been called "the best Celtic guitarist in the world". Tony studied ring theory under Peter Vámos at the University of Exeter before giving up mathematics for music.
Tony was kind enough to leave tickets for me and my family to attend his concert in Elora, and last night we all went. Tony's music was phenomenal, combining an intense virtuosity with a percussive style that left the audience breathless. He predominantly played Celtic tunes, but there was quite a lot of variety (including a Bulgarian piece and two pieces played on a special guitar, designed by a Toronto guitar maker, that sounds like a sitar). The variety of sounds he can get from a guitar made me really envious. In between tunes, Tony told us a lot of great stories about drunk Celtic musicians. We all had a terrific time.
Tony was accompanied by Rolly Brown, a fingerpicker now living in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, near where I grew up. In addition to guitar, Rolly is an acupuncturist, a Tai Chi instructor, and he raises Australian dogs. Rolly played some Reverend Gary Davis, Steve Mann, and he closed with a take-off on Julie Gold's "From a Distance" (made famous by Nanci Griffith) written by Jay Mankita in 1992: "From a Dog's Stance". The audience was in stitches.
If you ever get a chance to see Tony McManus or Rolly Brown, take it! Tony gives concerts and workshops all across the world. I guarantee you'll have a great time.

The principal results of experimental works carried out at the reactor of PNPI are known worldwide. The discovery and study of the parity non-conservation in nuclear gamma transitions were the first experimental evidence for the universality of the weak interaction. Furthermore, there are the most precise measurements of the neutron lifetime to date, the discovery of new kinds of correlation in ternary fission, the measurements of the neutron dipole moment, and the study of the asymmetry of its beta-decay. The strong electric fields, acting on a neutron moving in a noncentrosymmetric crystal have been discovered and investigated recently with some other new diffraction and neutron optics phenomena. Our institute takes a leading position in the world in the creation of cold and ultra-cold neutron sources.
In solid-state physics, the method of three-dimension analysis of neutron polarization was proposed and created as well as the original method of monochromatization of polarized neutrons, which are used in neutron scattering techniques. The important results were received in the investigations of the HTSC, nanostructures, hydrogen fuel elements, and magnetic structures on the atomic level. The spin dynamics of phase transitions was studied using polarized neutrons, the critical scattering from the three-spin correlations and the inelastic scattering asymmetry with the magnetic field present were revealed experimentally. The existence of a new chiral class of universality for magnetic phase transitions was proved using elastic and inelastic scattering of polarized neutrons.
The technique of crystal-diffraction spectroscopy of high resolution, with the help of which the first-class results were received in nuclear spectroscopy and solid state physics, made it possible to successfully carry out the study of particle channeling effect, to use it in the accelerator technology and high energy physics, as well as to use the neutron diffraction for measuring the fundamental neutron characteristics.
The determination of the details of the protein biosynthesis mechanism, the elaboration of the diagnostic methods of human hereditary diseases, the creation of biological test-systems for ecological monitoring are the results of the studies of biologically active macromolecules and cell structures at PNPI.

First time ever: Paralyzed man moves hand with thoughts using bionic tech (VIDEO)
Image from medicalcenter.osu.edu
A US man's brave decision and hard work have given hope to thousands of paralyzed people worldwide. Being paralyzed himself, Ian Burkhart took part in a breakthrough test and became the first person in the world to move his limb by using his thoughts.
The last time 23-year-old Ian Burkhart moved his hands on his own was on a summer day in June 2010, when he and his friends were celebrating the end of their freshman year of college.
On that day, an unsuccessful dive into the Atlantic Ocean divided his life into "before" and "after."
"It happened so fast. There was this loud snap," he recalled to Mashable.
As it turned out later, Ian dove into the ocean without realizing there was a sandbank hidden beneath the waves.
Everything changed in that moment for the 19-year-old student and lacrosse player. Paralyzed from the chest down, Ian broke his neck and lost the use of his limbs.
Though many find themselves feeling sorry for him, Ian says he's actually very lucky – and happy to be alive.
Four years ago I would've never imagined that this is where I would be however Im glad to say that I cannot complain about my life #61310
— Ian Burkhart (@iburkhart) June 13, 2014
After a series of treatments, Ian re-enrolled in college. He now helps coach the boy's lacrosse team at his former high school in Dublin, Ohio. His car has been adjusted for him, so he is able to drive – and he's willing to lend a hand to anyone who needs a ride.
"Friends or anyone, if u get in a situation & need a ride tonight call me. I believe I owe some people for always helping me #drivesober," Ian posted on his Facebook page on December 31.
What Ian misses most is "just being independent," he told the Washington Post. He lives in the basement of his father and stepmother's house, and needs help with almost everything – including brushing his teeth, eating, and turning in bed.
Fear is just false evidence against recovery pic.twitter.com/fNoMK6x
— Ian Burkhart (@iburkhart) May 3, 2012
This could have easily been the end of the story for Ian – but it wasn't. Four years after the accident, his life changed again when he agreed to take part in a pioneering research project.
Ian's doctor, leading neuroscientist Jerry Mysiw, was working with Chad Bouton – a top medical researcher from the engineering organization Battell – on a new technology called 'Neurobridge.'
Once Ian said he would like to take part, he became the main hero of the breakthrough research – which may one day make it possible for him to walk again, and provides hope for many other patients in similar situations.
"I couldn't turn down the opportunity to become the first person in the world to do something we have all been dreaming of. The prospect of helping advance science and help other people in the future – I had to say yes," he told the Telegraph.
Though he had no clue how the experiment would turn out, Ian was still excited.
Elective brain surgery tomorrow and I'm excited about it, yet they said I passed the mental test ha
— Ian Burkhart (@iburkhart) April 21, 2014
On April 22, doctors implanted a chip into Ian's brain. That initial surgery was a success; aside from strong headaches, Burkhart recovered quickly. A less significant side effect of the surgery was that Ian was instructed not to think too deeply, and therefore couldn't watch TV or read books.
RT @DJCeltic_Lax: seniors visit Coach Burkhart after his brain surgery. Brave young man making the Celts proud! pic.twitter.com/aWcNPdQqFQ
The microchip was designed to interpret brain signals and send them to a computer, which would decode and send them to a high-definition electrode stimulation sleeve. The sleeve would stimulate the proper muscles to complete Ian's desired movements.
As his head healed, Ian and his doctors started practicing. Ian sat in front of a computer monitor three times a week, focusing on moving his hand. While watching a digital limb move on the screen, doctors asked Ian to think about moving his own hand the same way. The computer would read his "signals" and move an animated hand on the screen.
Meanwhile, scientists built up algorithms – observing patterns of the neurons that Ian's brain used while picking up his "signals" and translating his thoughts to movements.
After weeks of practicing, it was time for Ian to finally move his hand for the first time since that fateful day in 2010.
Today's the day! Let's make history
It happened exactly four years and five days after he lost use of his hands.
Doctors plugged a gray cord into the metal microchip in Ian's head and connected it to the computer. Ian also wore a sleeve with electrodes around his wrist which received translated – or decoded – messages from Ian's brain signals.
After a tenth of a second, everybody in the room witnessed a tremendous scientific success – Dr. Chad Bouton's decade of research wasn't fruitless.
Ian first moved his fingers, then balled his hand into a fist and even moved it towards himself.
"It wasn't the same sensation through my arm that I was expecting. It was almost like someone else was moving my fingers and I was just watching from afar," he told Mashable.
Ian has become the first person to ever move his limb with his own thoughts while having spinal cord damage.
The incredible success was triumphed by doctors and scientists alike. Even if Ian had managed to move one finger, the result would have been deemed a huge success – but he exceeded all expectations when he picked up a spoon and held it.
"To me, being able to move my fingers would make a huge difference to my daily life. I have no sensation below my elbow so I can't do things that people take for granted, like eating by myself or brushing my teeth," Ian told the Telegraph.
This technology may one day help patients affected by brain and spinal cord injuries caused by strokes and serious accidents.
"Just imagine not being able to move your hand for four years, then suddenly you see it move, right before your eyes," Ali Rezai, the lead surgeon for the project, said after the test. "This is only the first step. Next, we'd like to see Ian — and others like him — be able to do even more sophisticated movements with their hands."
