Researchers
from Switzerland used an artificial intelligence-powered Brain-Spine
Interface (BSI) that decodes and translates the brain signals into commands for
muscle movement. BSI involves surgically implanted electrodes and a
headset with external antennas, allowing the patient to walk, climb ramps, and
even stairs. The implants provide a “digital bridge” between the patient’s
brain and his spinal cord, bypassing injured sections.
More than a year after the implant was inserted, the patient has not only
retained these abilities but has actually shown signs of neurological recovery,
walking with crutches even when the implant was switched off .
This is a game-changer that could lead to a restoration of mobility for
millions of paralyzed individuals, personalize injury treatment and pave the
way for AI-driven healthcare.
