Brain-Computer Interface Allows Paralyzed Patients to Walk Again
A revolutionary brain-computer interface has enabled paralyzed patients to walk again by bridging damaged spinal cords. The wireless implant translates thought into movement, restoring mobility to patients who were told they would never walk.
Brain-computer interface breakthrough
Restored Mobility
Five patients with complete spinal cord injuries have regained the ability to walk using the implant. The device reads brain signals and wirelessly transmits them to stimulators below the injury.
Technology
A coin-sized implant in the brain's motor cortex detects movement intentions. AI algorithms decode these signals and activate spinal stimulators that trigger leg muscles.
Patient Impact
Patients describe the experience as life-changing. 'I was told I would never walk again,' said one participant. 'Now I walk my daughter to school.'
