BrainGate2 is a study that looks at how people with tetraplegia (paralysis of all four limbs) can control a computer with their thoughts. The study is testing a special device to see if it is safe and if it works. The goal is to help people who can't move or speak well because of conditions like spinal cord injuries or strokes, to use computers and other devices with their minds.
- The study will last for a certain period, but details on the exact duration are not provided.
- Participants must live within a three-hour drive of the study site for convenience.
- People with certain health conditions, like severe vision problems or those taking certain medications, can't take part.
If you have tetraplegia and meet the requirements, this study might help you gain more independence. However, consider the time and travel involved, and check if you meet all the eligibility criteria before deciding to join.
