Summary

This study tests a brain implant that records and stimulates brain areas to help adults with severe paralysis (from spinal cord injury, ALS, or stroke) control assistive devices like computers or wheelchairs. The main goal is to check safety, and researchers will also see if participants can control two or more devices at once. Only 5 people will take part in this early-stage trial.
