 Project objective

Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to severe motor impairments that significantly alter the quality of life of affected people and incur substantial cost for families and society. The ideas developed within the framework of our ERC starting and Consolidator grants led to the development of neurotechnologies that restored walking in paralyzed individuals. This treatment involves the delivery of targeted electrical spinal cord stimulation protocols that reactivate the spinal cord below the injury and amplify the residual commands from the brain. Crucial to the recovery of voluntary movements is the temporal coincidence between the location of the stimulation and the residual command from the brain. To achieve a perfect synchronization, we directly linked decoding of motor intention from brain recordings to the modulation of spinal cord stimulation protocols. We validated the therapeutic efficacy of this wireless brain-spine interface in a nonhuman primate model of SCI. Here, we aim to establish the technical and regulatory feasibility of this wireless brain-spine interface in humans, develop additional intellectual property, and prepare the path to the commercialization of this revolutionary neurotechnology.

Are you the coordinator (or a participant) of this project? Plaese send me more information about the "BRAINGAIT" project.

For instance: the website url (it has not provided by EU-opendata yet), the logo, a more detailed description of the project (in plain text as a rtf file or a word file), some pictures (as picture files, not embedded into any word file), twitter account, linkedin page, etc.

Send me an  email (fabio@fabiodisconzi.com) and I put them in your project's page as son as possible.

Thanks. And then put a link of this page into your project's website.
