This study tests a brain-computer interface (iBCI) that reads movement-related brain signals to let people with severe paralysis (from ALS, spinal cord injury, or brainstem stroke) control a tablet computer just by thinking. The goal is to restore fast, natural communication usin…

This early-stage study tests a brain-computer interface (BCI) in up to 2 people who have lost the ability to speak due to conditions like spinal cord injury or ALS. The device is implanted in the brain to record signals when the person tries to speak, aiming to translate those si…

This study tests a brain implant that may allow people with paralysis (from spinal cord injury, ALS, or similar conditions) to control a computer cursor or other devices using just their thoughts. The main goal is to check the device's safety and see if it works as a proof of con…

This early-stage study tests whether a brain implant can safely help people with severe paralysis (from ALS, spinal cord injury, or similar conditions) control a computer cursor or speech device just by thinking. Only 3 participants will be enrolled, and the main goal is to check…
