The human problem

Spinal injury can interrupt signals between the brain and muscles.

What changed

The constraint: Existing stimulation systems offered limited voluntary adaptation.
AI’s role: Decoders converted cortical signals into spinal stimulation commands.
The observed result: The participant used the digital bridge for voluntary movement during the study.

The human possibility

A step toward restoring movement under a person’s own control.

Possible implications are separate from measured outcomes.

Keep following the question.

What this classification does—and does not—establish

Bright’s classification applies to the result described here. It does not certify a product, recommend a treatment, or predict a future outcome. Source publication and real-world deployment are different milestones. This opening record may not include every later study.
