Participants will perform experiments with non-invasive activity recordings. The study will record from multiple non-invasive signal sources that reflect motor intent that may include: electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), inertial measurement units (IMUs), eye movements, pupil size, and speech. Participants will wear all or a subset of these sensors and be asked to perform, imagine, or attempt movements or speech. The recorded sensor signals will be decoded to help guide an end effector, which may be a computer, robotic arm, wheelchair, or other assistive device.
These experiments present minimal risk and participants may withdraw participation at any time for any reason. Participants may return for additional experiments if desired and to perform additional comparisons. If a participant withdraws during a comparison, another participant will be recruited to complete collection of data for that comparison.
