In this Virtual Peer Connections session, Dr. Adam Sachs from The Ottawa Hospital explores the cutting-edge field of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) for spinal cord injury treatment. You will learn how neuromodulation and integrated spine surgery are being used to bridge the gap between the brain and the body, potentially restoring function by bypassing damaged spinal nerves. The presentation highlights current research into how computer systems can interpret brain signals to control external devices or stimulate muscles, offering a glimpse into the future of functional neurosurgery and increased independence for those with SCI.
