Project Overview

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) are new neurotechnology tools that let our brains communicate directly with external devices in real-time. Their main application is to help people with paralysis control electronic devices like a computer, or even their own paralyzed muscles. The area of the brain mostly used for BCI studies is…

Project Overview

Recovery of movement after a spinal cord injury starts in the brain. Two-thirds of spinal cord injuries are not complete, meaning some connections and voluntary movement remain. In such cases, the nervous system can partially recover movement over time. Activity-based therapy helps retrain the brain to control movements, like walking…
