Summary

Test the feasibility of using electrocorticography (ECoG) signals to control complex devices for motor and speech control in adults severely affected by neurological disorders.

Detailed description

ECoG is a type of electrophysiological monitoring that uses electrodes placed directly on the exposed surface of the brain to record electrical activity. With this ECoG-based neural interface, study patients will undergo training and assessment of their ability to control a complex robotic system and to determine if ECoG brain signals can be used to produce speech.
