Context-Aware Self-Calibration for Autonomous Control of Assistive Devices

Overview Existing assistive devices for people with severe motor disabilities rely heavily on residual motor function. Recent brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), which decode neural activity directly from the brain, provide disabled persons with limited ability to autonomously control assistive devices. We have invented a neural interface system that...

iBCI System to Control Multiple Devices

Overview Until now, brain computer interface (BCI) systems have allowed people with paralysis to control only a single device, often under the guidance of a caretaker or secondary operator. Our novel BCI system enables users to control multiple devices, switching among them under their own volition. Market Opportunity Numerous intracortical...

System for facilitating Speech-Based Communication for Individuals Unable to Speak or Write

Overview Our novel communication system enables patients unable to speak or write to communicate with others in real time, through a motion-controlled wireless device. Market Opportunity The use of non-speech communication is important in certain health care situations when a patient is unable to communicate through speech. Examples are when a patient...

Wireless Neural Probe to Communicate with Distributed Nodes

Overview Until now, neural probes required a full-device ecosystem to support probe communication, which limited the development of useful designs. Our invention uses near-field wireless communication and a flexible system architecture to simultaneously access multiple brain regions, allowing neuroscientists and clinicians to mix and match probes....

Commanding Electronic Devices from Discrete Neural Gestures

Overview We have developed a brain-machine interface for control of computers and other electronic devices through natural but virtual (imagined) gestures. A multistate discrete decoder detects neural activity evoked from natural hand gestures and maps them to commands for computer interaction. Market Opportunity Emerging brain-computer interface...

Giant Spin Hall Effect and Spin-Transfer-Torque Induced Switching in W/CoFeB/MgO with Perpendicular Magnetic Anisotropy

Giant Spin Hall Effect in Beta-Tungsten Overview Our invention uses a compound that mimics a natural peptide or protein, called a peptidomimetic compound, to treat neuronal injury. Administered prophylactically as soon as possible after injury, the compound is particularly effective in the case of stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and...
