First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 15, 2026 · Updated 28 times

Summary

This study tested whether a brain-computer interface (BCI) training could improve hand and arm function in 30 people with recent spinal cord injuries. Participants imagined moving their hands while a BCI system provided feedback, and their progress was compared to those who did similar training without the BCI. The goal was to see if this approach boosts brain plasticity and leads to better recovery of arm movement and sensation.
