Summary
This early study tests whether a smart brain implant can help people with spinocerebellar ataxia type 6, a condition that causes trouble with balance and coordination. Five adults will get the implant, which records brain signals and adjusts stimulation automatically. The goal is to see if it is safe and if it can improve walking and daily movement.
