Brain implant lets Locked-In patients 'Talk' with their thoughts

NCT ID NCT02224469

Summary

This study tested a new brain implant system designed to help people with locked-in syndrome communicate. The implant reads brain signals and wirelessly sends them to a computer, allowing users to control communication devices. The main goal was to see if patients could use this system independently at home to type sentences or control their environment.
