Toronto neurosurgery team implants brain-computer devices in patients with cervical spinal cord injuries

The neurosurgery team at Toronto’s University Health Network has successfully implanted a wireless brain-computer interface (BCI) in two Canadian patients with cervical spinal cord injuries, aiming to restore control over daily routines for individuals with quadriplegia. This pioneering effort, part of the CAN-PRIME Study, marks Canada’s first surgeries utilizing Neuralink devices and is set to expand trials by 2025, exploring broader applications in neurotechnology.
