Mind-Controlled tech offers new hope for paralyzed patients

NCT ID NCT01894802

Summary

This study is testing a brain implant system to help people with severe arm paralysis from spinal cord injury, stroke, or amputation. Researchers will implant tiny electrodes to read brain signals for controlling devices and to send artificial touch sensations back to the brain. The main goal is to check if the system is safe and if people can use it to operate computers or robotic aids with their thoughts.
