What Our BCI Pioneers Say
The first person to use a brain-computer interface to restore functionality lost due to paralysis. Matthew Nagle was a C3 tetraplegic, paralyzed from the neck down after being stabbed.
First person to control a robotic arm. 10 years earlier, she was diagnosed with spinocerebellar degeneration
computer doing this, it was all you,
I just cant stop smiling, its just that cool!
I’m moving things again.”
Sustained a spinal cord injury in 2010. Is a founding member of the BCI Coalition, a community forum for BCI Pioneers and those seeking to participate in studies.
has shown even after a traumatic injury,
restoration of paralyzed muscles is
possible and can provide Independence.”
Sustained a spinal cord injury in a 2004 automobile accident and was implanted November 2014 achieving sensory feedback through intracortical microstimulation. Nathan currently holds the record for the longest chronic implant of a Utah Array.
and you are limited to what you can do,
and limited in what you can interact
within your environment,
doing something like this is
very cool and very rewarding."
