Recently, a team from Xuanwu Hospital Capital Medical University and School of Medicine, Tsinghua University used a BCI with implantable epidural electrodes to enable a quadriplegic patient to autonomously perform brain-controlled functions such as drinking water.
The patient had a complete spinal cord injury at the cervical vertebra due to a car accident, and had been in a state of quadriplegia for a long time. on October 24, 2023, the research team carried out the first clinical implantation trial of the wireless minimally invasive-implantable BCI for the patient, where neurosurgeons implanted two coin-sized BCI processors into the patient's skull, and the prosessors successfully capturing intracranial nerve signals from the sensorimotor encephalic region.
After three months of home rehabilitation training, the patient is now able to control the pneumatic gloves through brain electrical activity to autonomously perform brain-controlled functions such as drinking water. The patient's spinal cord injury clinical index and somatosensory evoked potential measurements have improved.
It is reported that the implantation of a second spinal cord injury patient was successfully completed at Beijing Tiantan Hospital on December 19, 2023. The signal reception is normal, and the patient is currently receiving rehabilitation training at home.
Latest developments
With infinite hope for future medical technology, I applied to become a member of the Yinfeng Life Extension Program and volunteered to contribute to cryobiology in a hundred years by becoming a cryonics volunteer. I also believe that preservation in China is safer.
As a distinguished emblem of technological innovation in Shandong, Yinfeng's Life Continuation Project will continue to build a bridge for domestic and international government research and academic exchange, continually strengthen scientific collaborations and result transformations with global research institutions, consistently contribute to the development of cryobiomedicine, and inject continuous hope into the shared ideal of extending human life.
Exploring life sciences and anticipating future miracles. The Yinfeng Life Extension Program members' online exchange meeting successfully concluded at 9:30 AM. Aaron Drake, Director of the Clinical Response Center at Shandong Yinfeng Life Science Research Institute (hereafter referred to as Yinfeng Institute), and the cryonics team participated in this exchange event.
