Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to improve our understanding of speech production, and to translate this into medical devices called intracortical brain-computer interfaces (iBCIs) that will enable people who have lost the ability to speak fluently to communicate via a computer just by trying to speak.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Between 18 and 80 years of age * Clinical diagnosis of spinal cord injury, brainstem stroke, muscular dystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or other motor neuron disorders * Complete or incomplete tetraplegia (quadriplegia) * Must live within a three-hour drive of the Study site and geographically stable for at least 15 months after enrollment. (There are additional inclusion criteria) Exclusion Criteria: * Visual impairment such that extended viewing of a computer monitor would be difficult even with ordinary corrective lenses * Chronic oral or intravenous steroids or immunosuppressive therapy * Other serious disease or disorder that could seriously affect ability to participate in the study (There are additional exclusion criteria)
