Mind-Controlled hand: implant gives hope to the paralyzed

This study tests a brain-computer interface (BCI) implant in 10 people with tetraplegia (paralysis of all four limbs) from brainstem or spinal cord injury. The implant reads brain signals to control a pneumatic hand glove, helping patients grasp objects like cups or phones. The trial also explores using these signals to stimulate the spinal cord for limb movement. It aims to improve motor function but does not cure the underlying paralysis.
