Study Summary
The purpose of this research study is to demonstrate that individuals with upper limb paralysis due to spinal cord injury, brachial plexus injury, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and brain stem stroke can successfully achieve direct brain control of assistive devices using an electrocorticography (ECoG)-based brain computer interface system.
Primary Outcome
Participants will attempt to control devices such as computer cursors, virtual reality environments and assistive devices such as hand orthoses or surface functional electrical stimulators using their brain activity recorded through ECoG.
Interventions
- DEVICE Implantation of ECoG sensors on the brain surface
