A Direct Sensorimotor Connection with the Spared Neural Code of Movement to Regain Motor Function
Many individuals suffer partial or complete muscle paralysis with no available cures. Even though neural interfaces have the potential to restore motor function with assistive systems, their use is still very limited. Even in the case of state-of-the-art invasive neural implants, the control of the movements of the paralyzed limbs is highly unsatisfactory. These neural interfaces suffer high surgical risks, poor control of the activity of spinal motor neurons, and inaccurate mapping of the attempted movements. Spinal motor neurons are the last cells of the nervous system that convert motor commands into movement and their activity can be accessed with minimally invasive methods. In most…
