World’s first interventional brain-computer interface helps paralyzed man move his limbs
SMRTR summary
A groundbreaking trial in China has enabled a paralyzed stroke patient to regain limb movement using a brain-computer interface. Nankai University researchers implanted a stent electrode into brain blood vessels, allowing the patient to control his limbs via EEG signals. The 67-year-old man can now grasp objects and perform daily tasks. This advancement surpasses current US capabilities and could benefit patients with movement impairments. China is rapidly expanding clinical trials and insurance coverage for this technology.
