The claim in context
The human problem
Spinal injury can interrupt signals between the brain and muscles.
The prior constraint
Existing stimulation systems offered limited voluntary adaptation.
AI’s actual role
Decoders converted cortical signals into spinal stimulation commands.
The documented result
The participant used the digital bridge for voluntary movement during the study.
Why it may matter
A step toward restoring movement under a person’s own control.
Limitations
- A single-participant study with implanted devices and rehabilitation.
