P300 Brain Computer Interface Keyboard to Operate Assistive Technology

Completed · Phase 1/Phase 2

Conditions studied: Healthy, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Neuromuscular Disease, Spinal Cord Injury, Cerebral Palsy

In brief

The purpose of this research is to develop tools enable people who are paralyzed to operate technology and access computers. These tools are called brain computer interfaces (BCIs). BCIs would let a person use brain signals to operate technology.
