ALS patient uses brain-computer interface (BCI) for first time to communicate with family

“It makes people cry who have not heard me in a while.”

Our researchers have restored an ALS patient’s ability to communicate – through a computer, and in his own voice. Casey Harrell’s family can now easily communicate with their husband and father, who continues to work as a climate activist. The study on this groundbreaking trial appears this week in the New England Journal of Medicine.
