Study of brain-computer interface use in ALS, spinal cord injury, and healthy adults
This study tests how well people with ALS, spinal cord injury, or healthy volunteers can use a brain-computer interface (BCI). The goal is to learn how to measure what the device can do, which may help people with severe communication or movement limitations.

What taking part in a amyotrophic lateral sclerosis study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
