Dancer with ALS Performs on Stage Using Brainwaves to Control Digital Avatar

A dancer living with ALS has performed on stage by using a brain-computer interface to control a digital avatar in real time, translating her neural signals into the fluid movements her body can no longer make. The performance demonstrates how emerging neurotechnology can restore creative expression to people with severe physical disabilities. The breakthrough raises inspiring possibilities for how brain-computer interfaces could transform quality of life for millions living with paralysis and neurodegenerative conditions.
