Implant that may restore facial movement post paralysis made

Harvard researchers have created a new implantable device that may help restore facial movement in patients with one-sided facial paralysis. The "bionic face" approach to facial reanimation uses electrical signals from the uninjured side of the face to trigger muscle movement on the paralysed side. "Ultimate goal of reanimation is to restore dynamic motion of the entire (face)," researchers said.
