We hope to learn how safe and effective the Neuroport array plus stimulation is in controlling computer generated images and real-world objects, such as a robotic arm, using imagined movements of the arms and hands.
This research study is being conducted to develop a brain controlled medical device, called a brain-machine interface (BMI). The device will provide people with a spinal cord injury some ability to control an external device such, as a computer cursor or robotic limb, by using their thoughts along with sensory feedback.
