A person,
before anything.
Casey Harrell.
The conversation continues.
A participant living with ALS, the people supporting him, and researchers building a way to translate attempted speech.
Meet the same person in two different settings. The practical difference between a study session and daily use matters.

A voice in everyday life.
Casey Harrell used a brain–computer interface at home to communicate and operate his computer without researchers present.
Read the home-use source ↗One participant; an investigational interface. Daily use still involved caregiver setup. The two reports describe different settings, not a general result for everyone living with ALS.
