A new study from Brown and Mass General Brigham Neuroscience Institute shows how an implantable brain-computer interface enables rapid, accurate typing for people with ALS and spinal cord injuries — helping restore communication after paralysis. brown.edu/news/2026-03-16/br…

Brain computer interface enables rapid communication for two people with paralysis

Implantable device research from the BrainGate clinical trial enables communication through rapid typing for a patient with ALS and a patient with a spinal cord injury.

A recently published Brown study allows paralyzed patients to “type” at up to 22 words per minute. The work uses electrode arrays to track the neural signals associated with attempted finger movements for typing on a keyboard. browndailyherald.com/article…

With new technology, paralyzed patients can communicate by thinking about typing

The Brown-affiliated study uses attempted finger movements to enable more efficient real-time communication.

"This is an important technical advance that brings brain-computer typing much closer to practical communication speeds for people with paralysis." bit.ly/4blXCyx

An Experimental Brain Implant Allows People With Paralysis to Type Their Thoughts With Their Minds

One of the two participants wrote words up to a speed similar to an able-bodied person texting on a smartphone

Our new preprint describes a multimodal intracortical brain-computer interface that a man with ALS has used at home, independently, almost every day for >19 months. It decodes both speech and cursor control to enable him to communicate and use his computer. Here’s a quick tour👇
