About this trial

This pilot trial is enrolling 2 individuals with cervical spinal cord injuries to test the safety and feasibility of MindEx, a novel brain-computer interface (BCI) technology. BCI is a technique using a computer and connected electrodes implanted in the brain to record brain activity and facilitate control of an external device. If included, participants will have MindEx implanted for a minimum of 53 weeks and up to 313 weeks. Final testing will be performed after a period of up to six years.
