If the patient is successfully using direct selection with eyegaze, switching go a scanning access mode will be a challenge regardless of how the intentional gesture is detected. NeuroNode was demonstrated at ATIA in January, it is not an independent switch, but runs on its proprietary computer interface that also requires internet access.

Greetings,

I have a VA patient who has been using eyegaze successfully and now his family is requesting consideration for NeuroNode by Control Bionics, a wireless EMG solution using muscle twitch to drive the communcation device.

Wondering if any of you have had success with this approach? I was present for a field trial of the NeuroSwitch, the earlier and wired incarnation of this product and I wasn't particularly impressed. But I'm willing to be wrong!

Thanks,
Amy
