Institute History
Description
This video points to the deep impact that VR can have in triggering a recovery of our brains and bodies. Scientists from the Walk Again Project, an international, nonprofit, research consortium, led by Professor Miguel Nicolelis from Duke University and the Alberto Santos Dumont Association for Research Support in São Paulo, Brazil, have found a way to make paraplegics move again using a brain-machine interface that utilizes VR methods. All the patients who kept up with their training regained some feeling and motor skills.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
