1st Place Winner - BCI Award 2022-Walking after spinal cord injury using a brain spine interface

A spinal cord injury interrupts the communication between the brain and the region of the spinal cord that produces walking, leading to paralysis. In the project conducted by Henri Lorach and his colleagues at EPFL, this communication was restored with a digital bridge that converts thoughts into actions, enabling an individual with chronic tetraplegia to stand and walk naturally in community settings. This brain-spine interface (BSI) consists of fully-implanted recording and stimulation systems that establish a direct link between cortical signals and the analog modulation of epidural electrical stimulation targeting the spinal cord regions involved in the production of walking. This project was submitted for the BCI Award 2022 and was selected as the first place winner. 🏆
By submitting your work to the BCI award 2023 you can let the world know about your BCI project and show the world your latest achievements. Don't miss the chance to get feedback from the greatest jury team, be amongst the 12 nominees and publish your work in the "BCI State-Of-The-Art" book series by Springer.
