Walking naturally after spinal cord injury using a brain–spine interface
A spinal cord injury interrupts the communication between the brain and the region of the spinal cord that produces walking, leading to paralysis. Here, we restored this communication with a digital bridge between the brain and spinal cord that enabled an individual with chronic tetraplegia to stand and walk naturally in community settings.

Wireless Brain-Spine Interface: A Leap Towards Reversing Paralysis
Researchers have designed a wireless brain-spine interface enabling a paralyzed man to walk naturally again. The ‘digital bridge’ comprises two electronic implants — one on the brain and another on the spinal cord — that decode brain signals and stimulate the spinal cord to activate leg muscles.
Remarkably, the patient experienced significant recovery in sensory perceptions and motor skills.#Neuroscience #Neurology #Brain #SpinalCord #SpinalCordInjury #Paralysis #BrainSpineInterface #DigitalBridge #Neurotechnology #Neurotech
