Direct Brain-Computer Interface

Problem
The project involves building software for a brain-computer interface. The system takes neural electrical signals and turns them into mouse motion. One aspect of the project will be investigating other, richer ways to interpret these signals, for example as sounds (since they have amplitude and frequency). The user of the interface has locked-in syndrome, meaning he is paralyzed and cannot speak. He will be using the interface to speak and control his environment, among other things. This research is part of an ongoing collaboration between researchers at Georgia Tech, Georgia State, and Emory.
