This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
The BrainGate2 Neural Interface System is a small sensor that doctors place directly into the part of your brain that controls speech and movement. The sensor reads signals from your brain cells and translates them into commands that can control a computer or other devices, helping you communicate and regain abilities even if your body is paralyzed.
Many people with conditions like ALS lose the ability to speak and move, becoming completely trapped in their bodies. This trial exists to see if reading brain signals directly can give people back a way to communicate and interact with the world.

You likely don't qualify if…
You would undergo surgery to have the BrainGate2 sensor implanted in your brain's speech area. After recovery, you would work with the research team at regular visits to learn how to use the system to control computers or communication devices by thinking about speech movements. The study lasts at least 15 months and involves ongoing training and monitoring to track how well the system works for you.
