</b><span lang="EN-US">The goal of the Brain Computer Interface (BCI) Project at CLINATEC® (CEA, Grenoble) is to provide the proof of concept that it is possible to control complex effectors, such as a 4-limb exoskeleton, thanks to brain activity monitoring
and decoding to open new opportunities to motor disabled (in particular for tetraplegic subjects). A wireless 64- channel ElectroCorticoGram (ECoG) recording implant WIMAGINE® have been designed for long-term clinical application. The clinical research protocol
“BCI and tetraplegia” (PI Prof. Benabid) recently obtained authorizations to perform a clinical trial.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify">
