SCI Regeneration MapWhat the world knows about repairing the injured spinal cord

All directions

RECONNECT

No record in this collection has been assigned to this direction by name. The approaches below belong to it because the explanation layer says which direction each class of approach serves — two facts already written down, put beside each other, and never a guess about a particular study.

Brain–computer interface

Sensors read the electrical activity of the brain's surface, software recognises the intention to move, and that intention drives something outside the body — a cursor, a robotic arm, or a muscle stimulator.

Epidural electrical stimulation

A thin electrode implanted in the back, over the covering of the spinal cord, and a small generator under the skin. The device delivers a weak current to the cord below the injury — not to the tear itself and not to the brain.
