(CNN) -- At her research lab at the University of  Louisville, 
neuroscientist Susan Harkema turned her back to her study subject  to check a 
reading on 
a computer screen.
"Hey Susie, look at this," the patient called out to  her. "I can move my 
toe!"
 
Startled, Harkema spun around. The purpose of her  study, which involves 
sending electrical stimulation to broken spinal cords,  was to learn more 
about nerve pathways, not to actually make patients  move.
 
That must be an involuntary spasm, she thought. She  asked the patient, Rob 
Summers, to lie down and close his eyes and follow her  commands.
"Move your left toe," she said to him -- and he did.  "Move your right 
toe," she asked -- and he did.
