Purpose
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 let a person use brain signals to operate technology. The investigators want to make a BCI that can be used to operate commercially available technologies for communication, environmental control or computer access. The BCI would replace a switch to let people operate these technologies without moving. However, the investigators need people to test the BCI so they can see how well it can replace a switch. The investigators want to understand how well it can work so they can make it useful for people who are paralyzed.
