This research explores brain stimulation as a safe, low-cost alternative to medication for children with neurological and mental health conditions. Despite promising results across disorders, only a small fraction of studies involve children. The work aims to expand evidence and access, improving global treatment options, especially for low-income populations.

This research shows that children born without a hand can generate complex muscle signals by imagining movements, enabling control of advanced prosthetics. Their abilities develop similarly to typical motor patterns, challenging assumptions and expanding access to sophisticated prosthetic technology for paediatric patients.
