Abstract
Studies at the Wadsworth Center over the past 14 years have shown that people with or without motor disabilities can learn to control the amplitude of /spl mu/ or /spl beta/ rhythms in electroencephalographic (EEG) activity recorded from the scalp over the sensorimotor cortex and can use that control to move a cursor on a computer screen in one or two dimensions. This EEG-based brain-computer interface (BCI) could provide a new augmentative communication technology for those who are totally paralyzed or have other severe motor impairments, Present research focuses on improving the speed and accuracy of BCI communication.Keywords
