Interesting. So like how many axons? If you connect to all the axons on both ends and make the stimulation programmable then you could adjust simulation of the axons across the bridge. But I'm guessing we're talking a lot of axons.

Anyway, what do I know? I'm an idiot on the internet



In humans, around a million axons [1]. But not every lesion severs all axons. It's very challenging to stimulate individual axons as well, especially at scale.
