This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
The INTENT Neural Interface System is an experimental brain implant that sits on the surface of your brain to record your thoughts and intentions. Researchers will use these signals to help you control computers, robotic arms, or other assistive devices — and the system will also send feedback back to your brain so you can feel or sense what's happening in the outside world.
People with severe paralysis from spinal cord injury, stroke, or diseases like ALS often lose the ability to move and communicate. This trial exists to test whether a brain implant can restore some of that lost communication and control, opening new pathways between your brain and the outside world.

You would undergo brain surgery to implant a small electrode array on the surface of your brain. After recovery, you would visit the study site frequently (up to five days per week) for training sessions where you learn to control virtual or real devices using the implant. The research team will monitor your safety, test how well the system works, and gradually expand what you can control and sense through the implant.
