Rice and Baylor join BrainGate to develop brain-computer interfaces for people with paralysis

When a person loses a limb, a prosthesis often can help restore a significant degree of mobility. But when movement or communication is impaired by a neurological condition such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), spinal cord injury or stroke, there are, as of yet, very few options for the affected individual.

BrainGate Robotics Restore Paralysis Independence

People living with paralysis often struggle with simple daily activities. Eating, drinking, speaking, and moving can become extremely difficult after conditions such as ALS, spinal cord injury, or stroke. However, a groundbreaking clinical trial now aims to change that reality through advanced assistive robotics and brain-computer interface technology. Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine recently joined the BrainGate consortium, one o…

Clinical Trial Advances Intuitive Assistive Robotics for Individuals with

In a groundbreaking stride toward restoring independence for individuals affected by paralysis and communication impairments, Rice University, in partnership with Baylor College of Medicine (BCM), has become the sixth member of the prestigious BrainGate consortium. This collaboration marks the first BrainGate team based in Texas, joining the ranks of world-renowned institutions dedicated to advancing brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies. …
