Imagine having complete control over your tablet, phone, or computer using nothing more than your thoughts. Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology is rapidly moving from the lab to real life, promising game-changing breakthroughs in digital independence for people living with quadriplegia and severe upper-limb paralysis.
To make sure these groundbreaking tools are designed to tackle the everyday challenges that matter most to you, researchers are asking the SCI community to help guide the future of this tech. A new study is gathering direct feedback from individuals with quadriplegia and upper-limb impairments to understand your priorities, desired features, and expectations for BCI devices.
Your lived experience is essential to shaping tools that will genuinely enhance functional independence. The survey is completely voluntary, takes only 10 to 20 minutes, and can easily be completed with assistance from a caregiver. Help shape the future of BCI technology and share your perspective HERE.
