Revolutionary Brain Implants Enable Paralyzed Man to Walk Again

By Yeet Editorial Team

For over a decade, Gert-Jan Oskam lived paralyzed from the hips down following a life-altering motorcycle accident in 2011. Now, groundbreaking technology has restored his ability to walk. A team of Swiss researchers has developed implants that act as a “digital bridge” between Oskam’s brain and spinal cord, bypassing the damaged areas and enabling voluntary movement.

“For 12 years, I’ve been trying to get back on my feet,” Oskam shared during a press briefing. “Now I’ve learned how to walk naturally again.”

Bridging the Gap Between Mind and Body

The breakthrough was detailed in the journal Nature, where scientists explained how the brain-spine interface translates neural signals from the brain into spinal cord stimulation. This allows the brain’s intentions to directly command muscle movements.

“We’ve captured Gert-Jan’s thoughts and transformed them into spinal cord stimulation to re-establish voluntary movement,” said Grégoire Courtine, a spinal cord specialist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne and co-leader of the study.

The technology is powered by an artificial intelligence system that decodes brain activity. By mapping specific brain signals to corresponding movements, the implants allow Oskam to stand, walk, and even ascend ramps with the assistance of a walker. Remarkably, he has retained these abilities even when the device is switched off, showing signs of neurological recovery.

The Journey to a Digital Solution

Oskam had previously undergone treatments involving spinal stimulation, which temporarily improved his mobility but left him feeling disconnected from his movements. This new interface is different. “The stimulation before was controlling me. Now I’m controlling the stimulation,” he explained.

The process began with implanting electrodes in Oskam’s skull and spine. Machine learning was then used to decode the neural signals associated with specific movements. These signals were transmitted to spinal cord stimulators, which activated the relevant muscles. Over time, Oskam gained more natural control, improving his balance, gait, and ability to navigate obstacles.

A Leap for Neuroscience

This milestone builds on years of research aimed at restoring mobility to paralyzed individuals. Previous advancements allowed partially paralyzed patients to walk or cycle with external stimulation. However, this brain-spine interface marks the first time a paralyzed individual has regained such seamless and sustained control over their movements.

While the system is currently limited to lower-body mobility, researchers believe the technology could eventually be adapted for upper-body paralysis.

Challenges and Future Potential

Despite its promise, the treatment is invasive, requiring multiple surgeries and intensive therapy. It’s also expensive and complex, which limits its accessibility. However, the researchers are optimistic about refining the technology to make it more widely available.

“Our ultimate goal is to ensure this innovation reaches all patients who need it,” Dr. Courtine emphasized.

Transforming Lives Through Technology

Oskam’s story is a testament to the power of perseverance and innovation. Today, he can walk short distances, stand independently, and enjoy moments of normalcy that seemed impossible for years.

This achievement underscores a profound shift in how technology and neuroscience intersect, offering hope to millions living with paralysis. As advancements continue, the line between mind and machine grows increasingly blurred, redefining the possibilities for human mobility and autonomy.

I beg my friends to start their plans

With their new announcements, I will try to give you the most accurate opinion possible, in particular by relying on the research of Olivier Ezratty.

So, to summarize, Neuralink is developing a technical solution of electrodes based on flexible wires implantable in the brain by a robot and controlled by an integrated circuit in a very small box integrable under the skull. by a robot and controlled by an integrated circuit in a very small box that can be integrated under the head. by a robot and controlled by an integrated circuit in a very small box that can be integrated under the head. by a robot and controlled by an integrated circuit in a very small box that can be integrated under the head. by a robot and controlled by an integrated circuit in a very small box that can be integrated under the head. by a robot and controlled by an integrated circuit in a very small box that can be integrated under the head.

According to the company, the first applications of this technology will make it possible to repair humans suffering from various pathologies, while in a second step, it will be a question of increasing the capacities of humans who want it via the direct connection of the brain with a IA. with an AI. with an AI. with an AI. with an AI. with an AI.

To quote Olivier Ezratty, contrary to what one might think, for the moment Neuralink offers above all incremental innovation in miniaturization compared to existing techniques, such as techniques for the treatment of Parkinson's disease or the various projects. gait control for quadriplegic.

It is quite likely that Neuralink will focus primarily on repairing disabilities before seriously embarking on their work on the connection between the brain and an AI. and an AI. and an AI. and an AI. and an AI. and an AI.

But if they were to speed up their efforts on the human / machine connection side, it would probably remain fairly basic, namely focused on inputs and outputs (for example querying a search engine, or publishing of a tweet).

The arguments that lead to this thinking are that the brain is too complex to be able to write directly in it, for example to make you memorize large books or information. In fact, the number of synapses involved for these kinds of tasks is such that, for Neuralink to do the job, its implants would have to be 10 or even 100 times smaller (otherwise the implant needed would be bigger than the brain ). .brain ).brain ).brain ).).

So, probably not enough to panic. At this stage, the best still remains to inform oneself and to observe, and perhaps to define what is ethically acceptable or not, in order to accompany the subject in a little more enlightened way. I have the impression that apart from a few health professionals, technophiles and individuals interested in transhumanist ideas, most decision-makers are completely helpless on this topic.

Pierre Rivet·

MS in Entrepreneurship , EDC Paris ( Diploma obtained in 2013 )

The idea in itself is not bad, insofar as this "chip" would aim to correct or cure a neurological condition that cannot be treated by other means.

It is for this main reason that we are trying to develop the brain implant. For example, to return the use of one or more limbs to a paralyzed person, to fight Alzheimer's or other degenerative diseases, not to "increase" a healthy individual , for whom the game would not necessarily be worth the effort ...

It is not an operation of the appendix or a simple circumcision that we are talking about here!

An internal neuro-prosthesis requires perforating the cranium and installing a foreign body inside, where there is already our dear brain , which governs the entire nervous system and vital functions ... Such an intervention presents significant risks and you would have a lot, if not all, to lose. Such an intervention presents significant risks and you would have a lot, if not all, to lose.

Such an intervention presents significant risks and you would have a lot, if not all, to lose.

The notion of adding artificial intelligence to a healthy brain / consciousness remains a bit of a technological fantasy, as the complexity is great, and as long as the physiology of the brain is not understood as a whole ...brain will not be understood as a whole ...brain will not be understood as a whole ...brain will not be understood as a whole ... will not be understood as a whole ... will not be understood as a whole ...

In addition to the risks associated with the operation that I spoke about previously, there would certainly also be risks directly related to having an AI "added" to your consciousness (or subconscious). I wouldn't elaborate too much on its still too hypothetical risks. There are many films or works of science fiction which skillfully develop their plots on examples of these risks: Loss of free will and / or its mobility (in favor of AI), loss of the right to privacy, tracking , hacking, and a number of other disruptions in human / AI interaction.

Thus for many reasons, it would appear more realistic that the addition of an AI to our brain / consciousness is (first) considered externally and therefore "removable". Thus facilitating the eventual needs of updating and repairing the AI, as well as its hardware.

The internal implant would be more to recommend in the cases of a very invasive, permanent and definitive affliction , like the para / quadriplegia, and the degenerative diseases of the brain in their advanced stages… So a good idea , when that a real improvement living conditions justifies the risks associated with the intervention.good that a real improvement in living conditions justifies the risks associated with the intervention.real improvement in living conditions justifies the risks associated with the intervention.real improvement in living conditions justifies the risks associated with the intervention.real improvement in living conditions justifies the risks associated with the intervention.real improvement in living conditions justifies the risks associated with the intervention.

In the case of the healthy individual, bad idea. In my opinion, the consciousness / AI interface must always leave the possibility for humans to interrupt it .

Just like the rest of our body, our brain is made up of cells. These cells are not immortal. They can, and they will die if they cannot divide.

The brain of a normal, healthy 60-year-old is smaller than that of a 20-year-old because so many neurons have died. The theoretical maximum lifespan of a neuron is only about 120 years or so.

What is the difference between cognitive psychology and neuropsychology?

Candice Reynaud·

Cognitive psychology aims to describe the functional architecture of the brain . This means that for each information processing system implanted in the brain (language, memory, attention, etc.), cognitive psychology will aim to describe the location of this function within the brain . As for neuropsychology, it will make a specific contribution since it will be based on the study of brain-injured patients. We can take advantage of deficits resulting from brain damage to better understand the organization and functioning of normal mental processes.(plus)

I would like to have one that would help me write and that would never break down… but down… but down… but down… is down… down… (click!)302 viewsShow 6 positive votes6

What would the video game of your dreams look like?

Maxime Lepine·

Engineer in Atomic Engineering , MINES ParisTech ( Diploma obtained in 2019 )

A virtual reality RPG, based on a headset or a chip directly implanted in the brain .....

Just imagine all the extraordinary experiences that would open up to "gamers" thanks to this kind of technology! Everything that is impossible in "real" life would become reality, better, stronger, less disappointing.

In addition to the traditional role-playing games style Warhammer or Divinity Sin, we could decline the concept to strategy-management games and embody any great historical character. Winning the battle of Austerlitz or Tsushima in real life, leading an empire by thwarting political plots, deciding alone the fate of entire peoples, rewriting history ... An immersive Civilization, but what a dream, and what new challenges for those who is bored in his poor little limited life!

However, I doubt that it will ever exist.

Pity. I would have liked to have won a World War.414 viewsShow 12 positive votes · Reply requested by

Why do we feel a form of disdain from more rational people towards more emotional people?

Joseph Fornés·

Old wise man, old fool.Original answer: Why do we feel a form of more rational disdain of people towards more emotional people?

I would need a book to answer this question which addresses the springs of cultural domination. I will try to make it very short and necessarily expeditious. So sowing my seed and come what may.

The disdain in question rests first of all on a belief, that of the separation of body and mind. For Christian philosophy built on this dualism, the body was the playing field of the devil and the spirit that of the divine. Which mind was the playground of rational thought, therefore superior. This suited, and still does, it must be said, to pseudo intellectuals whose social situation allowed them to master high language.

Why do I speak of "pseudo-intellectuals"? Because all of the above is wrong in our current scientific paradigms. I summarize here:

1. There is no body-mind dualism: thought is an emergence of matter, in this case from the synapses of our cerebral cortex.
2. In the logic of evolution, the brain is at the service of the body and not the other way around (this had already been stated by Spinoza in the 17th century). Neuro-cogniticians speak of body-brain
3. Our body-brain interacts with its environment in a rapid, simultaneous, automatic and unconscious manner according to its learning through past life experiences.
4. Only a small part of these interactions reach consciousness but the experiences of neuroscientists, notably those of Benjamin Libet (1983), Patrick Haggard (2008), John-Dylan Haynes (2008), Itzhak Fried (2011), Chun Siong Soon ( 2013), reveal that the brain prepares the action well before the conscious decision of this one (between a few fractions of a second and several seconds before!)
5. Free will is an illusion of our conscience. Other neuropsychological experiments even show that consciousness attributes to itself and subsequently justifies choices emanating in reality from an external actor or acts caused artificially by means of electrodes implanted in the brain! Cf. The brain blog at all levels - The question of free will )
6. There is no reason without emotions . Neuroscientists have shown that choices, human actions, are controlled by emotions ( Antonio Damasio - "Descartes' error - The reason for emotions" - 1994). Patients whose injured brain could no longer perceive emotions (hormones emanating from the body-brain) were unable to make a decision while their rationality was intact.
7. Human rationality is limited and we most often use judgmental heuristics automatic , rapid, unconscious which are mechanisms acquired during our life experiences.
8. Rationality is not an absolute (there is no truth except in a given paradigm, see The incompleteness of thought) but is a learned semantics, and is therefore related to language .
   All language carries a culture and a rationality, the latter being expressed in the structure of categories and analogies intrinsically contained in its syntax and semantics. The mobilization of language in the interior monologue of consciousness thus has the effect of rationalizing thought.
   Now language is a social construct . So is the rationality that it carries, which has been built collectively over the course of history. Thus our individual conscious rationality is only the projection of collective rationality, acquired with language. In other words, it is the presence of others in our intimate self, the expression of others through our mouth.
9. Rationality in fact does not intervene to decide our actions but intervenes a posteriori to justify them, to ourselves (resolution of cognitive dissonance) and others.
   Even when we solve a math problem in our head, the unverbalized solution comes to us first mechanically and instantly through the effect of our judgmental heuristics before its literal expression follows.

This is enough to send to the figure of the "disdainful" ...

How a narcissistic pervert subjected the victim to a washing brain ? ? ? ? ?

Virginie Booth

By planting seeds of doubt in his brain ! By making him believe that he or she alone The PN holds the truth on everything and that the victim is a madcap worthy of nothing and who deserves Nothing, that, misery and hatred! That she should be happy with her lot, and that he or she is only on earth to obey the masters and take the blows! Like an evil master who tyrannizes his dog! By not attaching the slightest importance to his needs and above all, by scoffing at them, ridiculing them and trampling them, by brutally making him understand that the victim is worth 0 and that she is zero, and that, it is he or she the almighty master of the world! By making him believe that this one is weak and dependent on him! What sometimes very often, ends up.

Why are there awakenings after cases of brain death?

Michel Verheughe·

The moment your heart pumps more blood containing oxygen to the brain , it will lose cells that will die forever. After about twenty minutes, it is no longer necessary to try to revive the victim because the damage to the brain will be too important to be able to become conscious again.brain will be too important for us to become conscious again.brain will be too large for us to become conscious again. will be too important for us to become conscious again. will be too important for us to become conscious again.

I suffered, 11 years ago, a cardiac arrest of five minutes. Fortunately I was already in an ambulance and the nurse managed to restart my heart. I owe him my life, in fact!

Now I am living very well with an implanted defibrillator. As far as I know, I haven't lost a lot of brain cells but at my age of 72 no one is without some memory loss etc. but at my age of 72, no one is without certain memory loss, etc. but at my age of 72, no one is without certain memory loss, etc. but at my age of 72, no one is without certain memory loss, etc. but at my age of 72, no one is without certain memory loss, etc.361 viewsShow 3 positive votes31
