WATCH: This paralysed man drives a race car using just his mind!
And, no, he is not a magician...
After being left paralysed from the waist down in a car accident that happened nine years ago, Aldana Zuniga from Germany has left many people with questions.
Questions about how he was able to drive a NASCAR vehicle without using the pedals, but rather a sophisticated helmet.
The helmet is said to have allowed him to use his mind to operate the race car.
Zuniga took to the wheel of the race car on a track in Colorado.
Not from the driver's seat, but rather the passenger's seat.
He operated the vehicle with the help of an onboard computer, which responded to commands from a microchip in his brain.
Zuniga shared that this was an incredible experience.
This is all the result of over a year of engineering by a team in Colorado that was led by a neurosurgeon.
The team and its lead believe that the benefits of this technology are endless.
It sure is exciting, potentially leaving people who are paralysed feeling more in control of their abilities.
