Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have created a neural decoder that bridges the communication gap between brain and spine.

The technology works by detecting characteristic changes in brain wave patterns called “event-related desynchronization” that occur in specific frequency bands when someone intends to move.

The system uses external EEG caps and transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation electrical pulses delivered through the skin.
