- Active substance
- WIMAGINE implantable brain-computer interface device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new way for stroke survivors to regain arm function through brain-controlled rehabilitation.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early safety trial with only 10 participants, so results may not apply widely. The implant surgery carries risks like infection or device failure.
