This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers are developing a fair and objective way to measure how much assistive technologies (like eye trackers and mouth-controlled devices) and brain-computer interfaces help people with severe paralysis use computers, phones, and other digital systems independently. Right now, doctors and researchers don't have a common standard for comparing these tools or measuring their real benefit. This study will create a standardized digital assessment to solve that problem.
People with conditions like ALS and spinal cord injury often depend on assistive technologies to interact with digital devices, but there's no agreed-upon way to fairly measure how well these tools work or compare one tool against another. This trial aims to fill that gap by creating a reliable measurement system that can help doctors recommend the best device for each person.

You will come in for a study session lasting about 3 hours, with breaks whenever you need them. During this time, you'll try out different assistive devices and brain-computer interfaces (such as an eye tracker, mouth-controlled joystick, and EEG headset) in random order. For each device, you'll complete a digital assessment that simulates real-world activities like using the internet and managing digital tasks. The researchers will measure how well each device helps you perform these tasks and will ask for your feedback on your experience.
