About this trial

This feasibility trial is enrolling 2 individuals with cervical spinal cord injury who were previously enrolled in the BrainGate2 clinical trial (NCT00912041). If included, participants will use their previously implanted device (BrainGate2) to enable brain-computer interface (BCI) control of tablet-based communication applications. BCI is s technique using a computer and connected electrodes in the brain to record and decode brain activity thus allowing control of external devices. Final assessment of feasibility will be performed after 1 year.
