AsianFin – A research team led by Professor Jia Fumin from Fudan University’s Institute of Brain-Inspired Intelligence has successfully conducted the world’s first clinical proof-of-concept procedures for a “triple-integration” brain-spine interface.
The operations, performed at Zhongshan Hospital and Huashan Hospital, involved four paraplegic patients receiving synchronized electrode implants.
Remarkably, within 24 hours post-surgery, patients regained leg movement, and the fastest recovery saw a patient attempting to walk within just 10 days. These results provide preliminary validation of the next-generation brain-spine interface technology’s feasibility.
The miniature, skull-implanted brain-spine interface device is expected to enter clinical trials in the near future, marking a major advancement in neurotechnology and rehabilitation for paralysis patients.
