Revolutionary Brain-Spine Implants Enable Paralyzed Man to Walk Again

SCI therapy startup Onward Medical has helped improve a formerly-paraplegic man’s walking gait through the use of an implanted brain computer interface (BCI) and novel “digital bridge” that spans the gap where the spine was severed. The system used in the study used the ARC IM as a base and married it to a WIMAGINE brain computer interface. The BCI system described in the study may reach the market in five to seven years.
