This feasibility trial is enrolling 5 participants with chronic paralysis from spinal cord injury and other causes to test an implantable wireless brain-computer interface (BCI). A BCI uses a computer and connected electrodes on the brain to record brain activity, thus enabling control of an external device. If included, participants will undergo implantation of the system and use it to control external assistive devices through brain signals. Final testing of safety and feasibility will be performed after 6 months.
