First ever restoration of brain-controlled walking after paraplegia due to spinal cord injury

To the best of our knowledge, the UCI BCI Lab achieved the first ever restoration of brain-controlled walking after paraplegia due to spinal cord injury (SCI), as demonstrated in recent papers. Although our lab and the project has been underway for some time, its entire history is now documented here.

These results were recently presented at the IEEE EMBS 2014 Conference in Chicago, Illinois (8/26-8/30/14). We hope that with more development and refinement, this will be a first step in eventually achieving a technological “cure” for paraplegia after SCI.
