Summary

This early study tests a brain implant in 5 adults with severe paralysis (from spinal cord injury, ALS, or similar conditions). The goal is to see if the device is safe and can help users control assistive devices like computers or wheelchairs. The implant records brain signals and provides sensory feedback, but it is not a cure—it aims to improve daily function.
