Control of Assistive Devices Via Brain-Computer Interface Technology

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Tetraplegia/Tetraparesis; Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS); Quadriplegia; Spinal Cord Injury (SCI); Spinal Cord Injury Cervical

• Registration Number: NCT06710626
• Lead Sponsor: Neuralink Corp

Brief Summary

The CONVOY Study is a clinical trial designed to explore the feasibility of participants from the PRIME Study (NCT06429735) using the N1 Implant to control various assistive devices. The main goal is to determine whether participants can successfully modulate their brain activity to control devices, such as an Assistive Robotic Arm (ARA). This study will assess the effectiveness, consistency, and safety of neural control using the ARA and other assistive devices.
