BrainGate2: Feasibility Study of an Intracortical Neural Interface System for Persons With Tetraplegia

BrainGate2 is a research study testing a small sensor implanted in the brain that can detect brain signals and translate them into computer or device commands. The goal is to help people with severe paralysis — such as those with spinal cord injuries, ALS, or stroke — regain the ability to communicate and control devices using their thoughts. You may be eligible if: - You are between 18 and 80 years old - You have a diagnosis of spinal cord injury, brainstem stroke, muscular dystrophy, ALS, or another motor neuron disorder - You have complete or incomplete tetraplegia (paralysis in all four limbs) - You live within a three-hour drive of the study site You may NOT be eligible if: - You have significant vision problems that can't be corrected with glasses - You are on chronic oral or intravenous steroids or immunosuppressive medication - You have another serious illness that would interfere with your ability to participate Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
