They must be able to be understood most of the time and must not depend upon other forms of communication, signs, symbol boards or devices as their primary form of communication
  • Participants are expected to complete all procedures scheduled during the study visits
  • VCI scaled score >4 on the WISC-V, based on mental age
  • Aged ≥ 18 and ≤ 45 years
  • Weight ≥ 50 kg and ≤ 100 kg

You likely can't join if

  • Personal history of infantile spasms/convulsions/epilepsy, severe head trauma or CNS infections (e.g. meningitis), except for infantile febrile seizures
