In this new Podcast episode, we introduce you to Souvik Paul, CEO & Founder of Aurie, and Carina Ho, who sustained a spinal cord injury and is the inspiration behind Aurie's innovative no-touch, reusable catheter system for people with neurogenic bladder.

Brain–spine interface allows paralysed man to walk using his thoughts #NeuroRehabilitation

Walking naturally after spinal cord injury using a brain–spine interface

A spinal cord injury interrupts the communication between the brain and the region of the spinal cord that produces walking, leading to paralysis. Here, we restored this communication with a digital bridge between the brain and spinal cord that enabled an individual with chronic tetraplegia to stand and walk naturally in community settings.

Wireless Brain-Spine Interface: A Leap Towards Reversing Paralysis

Researchers have designed a wireless brain-spine interface enabling a paralyzed man to walk naturally again. The ‘digital bridge’ comprises two electronic implants — one on the brain and another on the spinal cord — that decode brain signals and stimulate the spinal cord to activate leg muscles.
Remarkably, the patient experienced significant recovery in sensory perceptions and motor skills.

#Paralyzed man walks after #SpinalCordInjury.

"Oskam *thinks* […] skull #implants detect electrical activity […] wirelessly transmitted & decoded by a computer […] then transmits […] to the spinal pulse generator. […] he can climb up staircases.
[…]
training sessions with the new device prompted further recovery in nerve cells that were not completely severed […] can also walk short distances without the device if he uses crutches."

I am so sick of seeing people defend Elon Musk's #toxic behavior by pointing to his #autism.

Let me be clear as someone with cerebral palsy and ADHD: Autism/neurodivergence/disability is never an excuse for malicious actions. Plenty of people are autistic without being assholes.

i've been so intensely depressed lately and i really have no idea what to do about it.

it's hard because everything that's supposed to make you feel better--going outside, exercise, walking, taking a bath, reading a book, reaching out, being with friends--is physically impossible for me because of my neurological disability/damage.

i can't move my head and i'm never 100% migraine symptom free, not even for an hour.

i want to put in the work to feel better, but there's nothing i can even start.

it's hard to not futility spiral when im in a place where i'm willing to do anything necessary to be okay again, but nothing i can do is accessible.

it's like coping skills are on the second floor but there's no elevator. if i could get there, i'd use any of them, and i'd feel better--but i'm stuck downstairs, so it doesn't matter.

@Fearlessness

Thanks for answering.

Just read up a bit on #SpinalCordInjury.

#Neurodivergence is to me an interesting subject as well.

Checking out an #OnlineDictionary I found 1 description as saying:

"The quality of being neurodivergent."

Does that mean you consider yourself #Neurodivergent?

Two year on: #Lessons we learnt adapting to life post #paralysis #SpinalCordInjury #RareIllness 1) live to the full in every calm minute between storms; 2) stay as #active as possible; 3) go back to activities we did together as a family #Badminton today. Daniel defeated us all.
