3rd place winner of the BCI Award 2025

An implantable brain-spine interface restoring lower limb movements after complete spinal cord injury Spinal cord injury severs brain–spinal communication, causing paralysis. We tested a digital brain–spine interface in two participants with chronic complete paralysis (THINK2GO, NCT06243952). Using AI-driven cortical decoding and automated spinal stimulation, both regained overground walking with a walker. This demonstrates the potential of brain–spine interfaces to restore mobility after severe spinal cord injury. This team won the 3rd place of the BCI Award 2025.
