Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for people with severe movement disorders, such as tetraplegia, who want to use communication apps on tablets. Participants will be involved in a project that aims to help people move and communicate using their brain signals.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
- I have been diagnosed with a spinal cord injury or brainstem stroke.
- I have complete or incomplete tetraplegia.
- I live within a three-hour drive of the study site.
- I have been enrolled in the BrainGate2 clinical trial before.
You may not be able to join if
- I have a visual impairment that makes it difficult to see a computer screen.
- I am on chronic oral or intravenous steroids.
- I am on immunosuppressive therapy.
- I have another serious disease that affects my ability to participate.

About This Trial
People with brainstem stroke, advanced amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease), or other disorders can become unable to move or speak despite being awake and alert. In this project, the investigators seek to further translate knowledge about interpreting brain signals related to movement, and to further develop an intracortical brain-computer interface (iBCI) that c…
