Mind over matter: new study tests Brain-Controlled devices for paralysis

NCT ID NCT05183152

First seen May 07, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026

Summary

This study explores whether a brain-computer interface (BCI) can help people with motor disorders control assistive devices just by thinking about moving. Researchers will test two methods to improve BCI performance: spinal stimulation to calm brain signals and muscle stimulation to sharpen movement patterns. The study aims to understand how the brain changes with training, not to provide a direct treatment.
