From the abstract: > Moreover, neurorehabilitation supported by the BSI improved neurological recovery. The participant regained the ability to walk with crutches overground even when the BSI was switched off. This digital bridge establishes a framework to restore natural control of movement after paralysis. So, not only did the brain–spine interface ("BSI") itself allow the patent to walk when they couldn't before (which strikes me as an absolute win, even if you call it a distraction) but it also facilitated neurological recovery over the longer term.
