About this trial
The study will investigate the use of motor intention-based cortical signals to trigger epidural spinal cord stimulation (ESCS) with individuals with SCI. Motor intention of UL tasks will be decoded using brain-computer interface (BCI) system based on cortical signals recorded using an Electroencephalographic (EEG) system or using their intracranially implanted devices Electrocorticographic (ECoG).
