Abstract
BCI (brain-computer interface) and functional electrical stimulation (FES) technologies have advanced significantly over the last several decades. Recent efforts have involved the integration of these technologies with the goal of restoring functional movement in paralyzed patients. Implantable BCIs have provided neural recordings with increased spatial resolution and have been combined with sophisticated neural decoding algorithms and increasingly capable FES systems to advance efforts toward this goal. This chapter reviews historical developments that have occurred as the exciting fields of BCI and FES have evolved and now overlapped to allow new breakthroughs in medicine, targeting restoration of movement and lost function in users with disabilities.
