Brain Computer Interface: Neuroprosthetic Control of a Motorized Exoskeleton
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Traumatic Tetraplegia with Cervical Cord Injury
In brief
The BCI project falls within the very broad field of brain machine interfaces. Its multiple applications include the compensation of motor deficits. The subject of the present protocol is the first test of the system in man on the compensation of motor deficits by an epidural brain implant enabling an electrocorticogram (EcoG) to be recorded.
