Not Applicable
User BCI Emotiv Epoc with adapted wheelchair
Intervention(s)
The proposed path for the research will be:
1. Presentation of the research proposal, clarification as to its importance, and the invitation to the individuals and the responsible ones so that the people are collaborators, in the first moment
2. Read and explain the Term of Free and Informed Consent, together with the collection of signatures of the responsible and the individuals, in the second meeting
3. Application of a questionnaire with the purpose of knowing the profile of individuals and collecting information relevant to the development of the system
4. Use of the system in the association. The user will the System Virtual Brain Chair between 30 and 60 minutes. The system is composed of wheelchair adapted and integrated with Emotiv Epoc and Virtual Environment for replicated the movements.
5. Application of the questionnaire after use of the system
6. Analysis of the evaluation of the results obtained. It is important to point out that the individual can detect possible errors or needs for improvement of the tool which will feed back the process of analysis and development of the tool.
Primary Outcome(s)
1. The patient satisfaction is measured using the experience of patient and doctors that participate in the sessions with questionnaires and feedback as well as validation of time for execution of movements, percentage of correct movements and the quality of experience control
2. The viability of project is measured by assessing the validity of movements using EEG and Facial expressions, use of stereo sound for orientation and commands of movememnts, if the Virtual Environment support the doctors for validiting the movements and the immersion of blind users with Sound 3D
Secondary Outcome(s)
Sync between 3D interface, hardware and real movements with patients is assessed using the wheelchair adaopted integrated with Emotiv Epoch, trying to move the wheelchair with brainwaves (EEG), check if the movement is correct and examining the movements if they are oriented by sound and sync between Virtual Environment, Brainwaves and Wheelchair integration.
