Locked-in syndrome

This study tests the safety and feasibility of the BrainGate2 system, a brain-computer interface. Tiny sensors are placed in the brain area that controls movement, allowing people with tetraplegia (paralysis of all four limbs) to control a computer cursor or other assistive devic…

This study tests a brain implant that records brain signals to help people with locked-in syndrome control a computer. Two participants will have 128 electrodes placed on their brain surface. Researchers will train them to use the system at home for one year, aiming for accurate …

This trial tests a brain-computer interface called CortiCom, which is surgically placed on the brain's surface to record signals related to speech and arm movement. The goal is to see if these signals can be decoded to control software and devices, potentially helping people with…

This early-stage study tests a brain implant called BrainGate in just 3 people with severe paralysis or speech loss from conditions like ALS or spinal cord injury. The goal is to see if the device is safe and can let users control a computer cursor or other tools by thought alone…

This study investigates whether brain surface recordings can decode Mandarin Chinese speech, including tones, from imagined speech. About 50 participants with brain tumors or epilepsy will have temporary electrodes placed during surgery, and 10 people with severe speech loss will…

This study tests a brain implant that reads signals from the brain to help people who have lost the ability to speak fluently communicate through a computer just by trying to talk. It involves up to 2 participants with conditions like spinal cord injury or ALS. The main goal is t…
