Neural-Directed Wheelchair
|
- The InvenTeam devised an alternative method for quadriplegics and amputees to move.
- Using an electrode cap to translate EEG M-rhythm or neurosignals from the user’s brain to a microprocessor in the wheelchair, the user can cause movement by just thinking about it; no physical movement is required.
- InvenTeam teacher Paul Cammer donned the electrode cap as the test subject during wheelchair demos at the finale grant event, the InvenTeams Odyssey.
- The InvenTeam envisions future applications of the brain-machine interface to connect with common household appliances.
