Neuroscientist Grégoire Courtine, along with neurosurgeon Jocelyne Bloch, is pioneering AI-driven implants that are set to help paralyzed individuals regain mobility. Their research, sparked by the sight of a monkey walking in 2015, has shown early success in humans. Michel Roccati, who was paralyzed in 2017, underwent surgery and now can stand, walk, and engage in sports using a device implanted in his spine. These advancements offer hope for patients with spinal cord injuries and other neuro-motor conditions.
In that moment I knew that it was not if but when... It was the best day of my scientific career.
After undergoing surgery in 2020 to place a device in his spine, Roccati has found just that... and participate in sports he always loved.
