Using brain implants to control assistive devices
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial looks at how well people who already have a Neuralink N1 brain implant can use it to control assistive devices like computers or wheelchairs. It's only for people already in the PRIME Study who meet certain safety and performance checks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are already in the PRIME Study.
- You have the N1 brain implant and it is still working.
- Your implant has not been removed or turned off.
- The implant's performance is good enough to control devices.
- You have a safe and suitable space at home for study sessions.
- No other health issue would make it unsafe for you to take part.

This trial tests a brain-computer interface (a device that lets you control a computer with your thoughts) that is implanted by a robot. It is for people with severe paralysis who may benefit from a new way to communicate or control devices.
This study tests a brain implant that lets you control external devices like a computer or tablet just by thinking. It is for people with paralysis or severe weakness in both arms due to conditions like spinal cord injury, ALS, or stroke.
This clinical trial tests a brain-computer interface (a small device implanted in the brain) that may help people with severe paralysis control external devices like a computer or tablet using only their thoughts. The study is for adults with paralysis from a spinal cord injury or ALS, and requires a stable caregiver.
This trial tests a brain implant that lets you control external devices using your thoughts. It's for people with limited arm function due to spinal cord injury, stroke, ALS, or similar conditions.
This trial tests a brain-computer interface (BCI) that is implanted by a robot. It is designed to help people who have lost the ability to speak clearly or use their hands well, due to conditions like ALS, stroke, or spinal cord injury.
This trial tests a surgically implanted brain device designed to help people with severe paralysis or movement disorders regain the ability to communicate and control their limbs. The device reads signals from your brain and translates them into commands that could help you interact with computers or assistive technology.
