Motor Intent Decoding

Sponsor:

UCLA

Code:

NCT07236892

Conditions

Movement Disorders

Neurorehabilitation

Non-invasive Activity Recording

Eligibility Criteria

Sex: All

Age: 18+

Healthy Volunteers: Accepted

Interventions

Participants will perform experimental tasks while undergoing non-invasive activity recordings, which may include EEG, EMG, IMUs, fNIRS, eye gaze, or pupillometry.

Study Details

Brief summary:

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.

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: Healthy Participants

Participants will perform a subset of tasks while non-invasive activity is recorded which may include EEG, EMG, IMUs, fNIRS, eye gaze, or pupillometry.

Interventions

Participants will perform experimental tasks while undergoing non-invasive activity recordings, which may include EEG, EMG, IMUs, fNIRS, eye gaze, or pupillometry.

Participants may be prompted to imagine, attempt, or perform actions while a task is being performed on a computer, robotic arm, wheelchair, or exoskeleton. Participants may also autonomously perform actions to control each end effector. Participants may be asked to control a cursor to acquire a target or multiple targets. Participants may be asked to pick and place various objects, interact with articulated objects, or perform other motor tasks using a robotic manipulator. Participants may be asked to navigate a wheelchair.

Primary outcome measure

  • Normalized Performance [ Time Frame: Usually one visit (Day 1), with possible additional study visits usually within a month. ]
