This feasibility trial is enrolling 4 participants with chronic paralysis or bilateral upper limb amputation to test the safety and efficacy of a brain computer interface (BCI). A BCI is a technology using a computer and connected electrodes on the brain to record brain activity and also to control an external device. If included, participants will undergo implantation of the device (WRS64 neural signal system) and use the system to control assistive technologies, such as a cursor, through thought alone. Final testing of device safety and efficacy will be performed after 7 months.
