People with complete, chronic spinal cord injury practised imagining walking while in a robotic gait trainer, receiving EEG neurofeedback on mu and beta rhythms, first from a single site and then from a multi-channel brain-computer interface. Participants learned to change these rhythms and showed stronger connectivity between brain regions, along with reported clinical gains. The study was exploratory and the abstract does not give a sample size or a control group.
