Development of a Wearable System for Monitoring Brain Activity
Summary
We are developing a portable technology that records brain activity using electroencephalography to support expressive communication in children with motor and visual impairment.
Call to action
Do you want to help us develop a communication device for youth with severe motor and visual impairments? Consider participating in our research study.
Who can participate
We are looking for participants who:
• Are between 13 and 18 years old
• Have normal or corrected-to-normal vision and hearing
• Are able to read, understand and speak English
• Have no known history of neurological, psychological, drug or alcohol-related conditions, seizures, or head injuries
Funding agency
Province of Ontario and the University of Toronto (OSOTF), and the PRISM Lab, Bloorview Research Institute
What's involved
Study participants will attend one 90-minute research session at the Bloorview Research Institute. During the session, participants will perform motions with their head, listen and count cues, and complete a questionnaire. They will they wear a head cap with sensors and gel, and sensors (that are worn like headphones) in each ear to measure their brain activity. Participants will receive a small token of appreciation, to thank them for their time.
