NCT02069938

Brief Summary

Noninvasive Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) have been used to control a number of virtual and physical objects through the voluntary modulation of brain rhythms. Current issues with noninvasive BCIs include exhausting motor imagery tasks and long training times required to achieve competent control. The investigators will address these issues within this protocol, examining new approaches to reduce the effort required by subjects to control a physical object in the task. The PI's hypothesis is: Control of a physical robotic device will increase the performance of subjects in BCI tasks that are analogous to virtual tasks due to greater engagement with a physical output.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percent of trials correct within each session of Brain Computer Interface experiments.

    Accuracy and performance metrics of Brain-Computer Interface tasks over time. This will include the percent of trials correct, percent of trials completed, and time to completion within each session. Combining these metrics, we will examine subject learning over sessions with regression. Exact time frame of sessions will be determined by subject and equipment availability.

    Session 1 through 10, within an average of 5 weeks. Each session separated by at least 24 hours.
