=== Current clinical trials ===
Clinical trials began in 2009 under the name "BrainGate2 Neural Interface System".<ref>{{cite web |title=Clinical Trials |url=https://www.braingate.org/clinical-trials/ |access-date=5 April 2021}}</ref><ref name="web_clinicaltrials">{{cite web |title=BrainGate2: Feasibility Study of an Intracortical Neural Interface System for Persons With Tetraplegia (BrainGate2) |url=https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00912041 |work=[[ClinicalTrials.gov]] |access-date=5 April 2021}}</ref> {{asof|October 2014}}, Stanford University, Massachusetts General Hospital, Case Western Reserve University (Ohio) and Providence VA Medical Center were actively recruiting participants for the ongoing BrainGate2 clinical trial.<ref name="web_clinicaltrials" />

In April 2021, BrainGate became the first technology to transmit wireless commands from a human brain to a computer. The clinical study used two participants with spinal cord injuries. The study used a transmitter connected to the subject's brain motor cortex to transmit the signals. The accuracy and speed of typing and movement was reported to be identical to that of wired solutions.<ref>{{cite news |last=Cuthbertson |first=Anthony |date=3 April 2021 |title=Scientists connect human brain to computer wirelessly for first time ever |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/brain-computer-interface-braingate-b1825971.html |work=[[The Independent]] |access-date=5 April 2021 }}</ref>
