China has successfully completed a groundbreaking trial for restoring motor function in paralyzed limbs, utilizing an invasive Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). A team led by Professor Duan Feng from Nankai University, in partnership with Fujian Sanbo Brain Hospital and other institutions, has enabled a hemiplegic patient in Fujian to regain motor function. The trial involved minimally invasive surgery on the neck blood vessels to achieve precise acquisition and wireless transmission of electroencephalography (EEG) signals. Following the surgery, the patient recovered well and is now capable of freely grasping objects with their left upper limb. This innovative technology eliminates the need for craniotomy, significantly reducing risks and offering fresh hope to patients suffering from stroke and other conditions.
