This will probably only work if your motor cortex is intact. I'm assuming that they aren't sophisticated enough to pick up signals from the premotor cortex or the frontal lobes if the motor cortex is dead like mine is.

NeuroLutions,
a BCI startup aiming to restore functions to disabled patients, has
successfully raised $1.15 million from a group of investors to continue
the clinical study of its first product, IpsiHand, which could help
patients recover from stroke.
IpsiHand is a robotic rehabilitation tool for stroke patients, developed
in partnership by Neurolutions and IncWashington University.
The tool has a robotic glove that you wear on your hand and a
neurocap that you wear on your head. The BCI headset picks up the
patient’s thoughts and sends them to the robotic glove.
To date, NeuroLutions has raised approximately $2 million from previous investors that include Ascension Ventures, BioGenerator, Prolog
Ventures and other private investors. Including this most recent round,
BioGenerator has now invested $350,000 in the startup.
