Summary
This study tests a device called mindBEAGLE that reads brain waves to help people who are unconscious (due to brain injury) answer simple yes/no questions. Participants wear a cap that measures brain activity, along with vibrating wristbands and earphones. They learn to associate specific vibrations or tones with yes or no answers. The goal is to see if this tool can be used during daily rehab to improve communication.
