Graduate Student Researcher in the Georgia Tech BrainLab.Tested the potency of solid state visually evoked potentials (SSVEP) at varying distances using electroencephalography (EEG). SSVEP can be used to trigger brain activity responses in ALS patients and the motivation of the study was to set up communication channels in the rooms of ALS patients and use the visual stimuli to trigger events such nurse call, room temperature change, television controls, etc.
