About this trial

This feasibility trial is enrolling 10 participants with spinal cord injury, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or traumatic brain injury to test an augmented-reality brain–computer interface (BCI). BCI, in this study, utilizes a virtual reality headset with software to measure attention, eye gaze and head pose, thus allowing participants to communicate and to control a computer. If included, participants will receive an integrated Cognixion + Apple Vision Pro device, with testing over 3–4 months. Final testing of communication performance and usability will be performed after 4 months.
