Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this research is to develop tools to help people who are paralyzed. These tools are called brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). BCIs would allow a person to use brain signals to operate technology. Specifically this project's goal is to design a BCI to operate a switch.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators want to make a BCI that can be used to operate commercially available technologies for communication, environmental control or computer access. The BCI would replace a switch to let people operate these technologies without moving. However, investigators need people to test the BCI so they can determine how effective it is in replacing a switch.

Pilot Testing

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Brain Computer Interface Switch

Intervention Type DEVICE

Subjects will wear an EEG cap for 1-2 hours typical per session and use the brain computer interface to operate assistive technology. Subjects will be asked to participate in 14-20 sessions.
