Sponsor: VA Office of Research and Development
Conditions: Spinal Cord Injury, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Brain Stem Infarctions, Locked-in Syndrome, Muscular Dystrophy
Interventions: Mobile neural decoding platform (mobile iBCI)
Countries: United States
VA research has been advancing a high-performance brain-computer interface (BCI) to improve independence for Veterans and others living with tetraplegia or the inability to speak resulting from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spinal cord injury or stoke. In this project, the investigators enhance deep learning neural network decoders and multi-state gesture decoding for increased accuracy and reliability and deploy them on a battery-powered mobile BCI device for independent use of computers and touch-enabled mobile devices at home. The accuracy and usability of the mobile iBCI will be evaluated with participants already enrolled separately in the investigational clinical trial of the BrainGate neural interface.
