Overview

This experiment could potentially contribute to the creation of a power wheelchair operated using a brain-computer interface.  This would enable patients who cannot operate a wheelchair with a joystick to navigate with high accuracy.

Description

Participants will participate in two study sessions.  Session one will involve performing a simple computer task while physiological data is recorded.  In the second session, the participant will test the accuracy of the BCI system based on data from the participant's first session.
