Summary

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.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Using a BCI to control wheelchair tilt

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.
