Connect-One: Early Feasibility Study of Connexus® Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)
“Is your speech very hard to understand, or are you unable to talk because of a nerve or muscle problem?”
open to eligible people ages 22-75
The Connect-One Study is an early feasibility study to obtain preliminary device safety information for the Connexus Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). The Connexus BCI is intended to be used as: (1) an assistive communication device to decode imagined language correlates and speech for patients with impaired communication as a result of severe loss of voluntary motor control; and (2) to provide control of computer devices for individuals with severe loss of voluntary motor control of the upper extremity.
