Brief Summary

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

The investigators want to develop a brain-computer interface (BCI) that will eventually allow people who are completely paralyzed to independently control the tilt feature on their power wheelchairs. This study will allow healthy volunteers to test the feasibility and accuracy of controlling a BCI using only their brain signals while seated in a tilting wheelchair.

Using a BCI to control wheelchair tilt

Intervention Type DEVICE

Subjects will wear an EEG cap for 1-4 hours (1-2 hours typical) during each session and use a P300 based BCI to type words and control wheelchair tilt. Subjects will be asked to participate in 3 sessions.
