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.

Conditions

  • Tetraplegia
  • Spinal Cord Injury
  • Brachial Plexus Injury
  • Muscular Dystrophy
  • ALS
  • Brainstem Stroke

Interventions

DEVICE

Implantation of ECoG sensors on the brain surface

One ECoG sensor will be implanted over the motor cortex of study participants
