Sensorimotor Rhythm Brain-Computer Interface Switch to Operate Assistive Technology

Stopped early · Phase 1/Phase 2

Conditions studied: Healthy

In brief

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.
