Walking naturally after spinal cord injury using a brain-spine interface

Léonie Asboth, Salif Axel Komi, Grégoire Courtine, Robin Jonathan Demesmaeker, Félix Antoine Martel, Laure Coquoz, Jocelyne Bloch, Anne Marie Lucienne Watrin, Sergio Daniel Hernandez, Henri Charles Alexandre Lorach, Edeny Baaklini, Jimmy James Ravier, Molywan Vat, Carmina Andrea Galvez Solano, Cathal John Harte, Valeria Spagnolo, Grégory Didier Dumont, Thibault Jean Etienne Collin, Icare Sakr, Lucas Struber

A spinal cord injury interrupts the communication between the brain and the region of the spinal cord that produces walking, leading to paralysis(1,2). Here, we restored this communication with a digital bridge between the brain and spinal cord that enable ...
