THE MODEL ALSO GUIDED THE DESIGN OF THE STIMULATION CONFIGURATIONS TARGETING SPECIFIC SPINAL SEGMENTS
THE STIMULATION IS DELIVERED TO THE SPINAL CORD IN BURSTS THAT TARGET DIFFERENT SPINAL SEGMENTS AT DIFFERENT MOMENTS IN THE GAIT CYCLE.
FOR EXAMPLE WE TRIGGER SPINAL SEGMENTS INNERVATING FLEXION MUSCLES UPON DETECTION OF FLEXION INITIATION USING KINEMATIC SENSORS
THIS GENERATE A SEQUENCE OF PULSE TRAINS THAT CYCLES THROUGH THE DIFFERENT PHASES OF LOCOMOTION FOR BOTH LEGS
THE TIME SEQUENCE OF THESE BURSTS WAS DEFINED THROUG OPTIMIZATION WITH A SPINAL NETWORK MODEL DEVELOPED DURING THE HBP THAT PREDICTS MAXIMAL EFFICACY OF THE STIMULATION OF PROPRIOCEPTIVE AFFERENTS DURING MOVEMENT (FORMENTO ET AL 2018)
A BODY WEIGHT SUPPORT SYSTEMS HELPS THE PATIENT MOVE FREELY OVERGROUND.

The Human Brain Project should lay the technical foundations for a new model of ICT-based brain research, driving integration between data and knowledge from different disciplines, and catalysing a community effort to achieve a new understanding of the brain, new treatments for brain disease and new brain-like computing technologies.
