Official Title: Utrecht Neural Prosthesis (UNP): A Pilot Study on Controllability of Brain Signals and Application in locked-in Patients

Brief Summary: In this study a new means of communication for people with locked-in syndrome will be tested. The investigators will record brain signals directly from the surface of the brain by means of a completely implantable system. These brain signals are fed wirelessly into an assistive technology device and will control this device for communication and environmental control at the users home.
