About this trial

This trial is enrolling by invitation only 3 participants with chronic cervical spinal cord injury who were previously enrolled in the PRIME Study (NCT06429735) to evaluate the use of a wireless brain-computer interface (BCI) for controlling assistive devices. A BCI uses a computer and connected electrodes in the brain to record and translate brain activity, enabling control of an external device. If included, participants will use the Neuralink N1 Implant to control an assistive robotic arm and other assistive devices. Final testing of safety and functionality will be performed after 6 years.
