Thanks Ed, I will look into what Wadsworth has to offer would greatly appreciate any feedback from people with experience with the product/support.  Thanks!

To: xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Monday, August 15, 2011, 10:12 AM Last I heard (but it has been a couple of years) Wadsworth was selling a version of their P300.  Certainly not selling in the sense of supporting it like a Dynavox or My Tobii, I might be inclined to have a discussion with them about what kind of support and trouble shooting was available...  And I tend to think that it was among the most promising of the BCI stuff out there, especially contrasted with something like Audeo that I have not really seen working with advanced ALS, or Brain gate that needs a brain surgery! There is also the system from Germany.  I think they have a US rep in texas, but am completely blanking on the name and have a pt coming.  If someone else does not chime in, I will look it up.  But it was a far more expensive piece of tech than the Wadsworth stuff.

Hi, I have a pALS in the SF Bay Area who I really want to get set up with BCI. What options exist outside of studies at this point?  I think I heard that  the P300 technology is on the market?  True?  Does anyone have thoughts or reviews of this or others available BCIs on the market? Thanks!

If you are talking about a study that will provide a BCI to use independently in the home, there just aren't many of those yet.  The biggest is headquartered in Albany, NY at the Wadsworth Center.  They have a multi-site study assiciated with VA hospitals starting up, but I don't know many of the details or where all the sites are. > > %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %% > Jane Huggins, Ph.D.            "God has always chosen the slow and >                                difficult way, respecting human freedom > xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx                 regardless of cost."    -- Philip Yancey > %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%  http://www-personal.umich.edu/~janeh %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% > > On Mon, 15 Aug 2011, Erin Swann wrote: > >> Hello everyone, >> >> >> >> I have a PALS looking to participate in a brain computer interface (BCI) >> study in the Baltimore/DC area.  Has anyone ever heard about an >> opportunity in that area or know how these types of studies usually >> advertise for volunteers?  Any information would be helpful.  Thanks! >> >> >> >> Erin Swann, ATP >> >> Assistive Technology Specialist >> ALS Association - DC/MD/VA Chapter >> >> 7507 Standish Place, Rockville, MD 20855 >> (301) 978-9855 | 1-866-348-3257  Ext. 216 >> Fax: (301) 978-9854 >> xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx> >> www.ALSinfo.org <http://www.alsinfo.org/> >> >> >> >> Countdown to the Walk to Defeat ALS(r) >> >> Join us at one of the kickoff events this month.  Click here >> <http://webdc.alsa.org/site/PageServer?pagename=DC_Walks>  for dates and >> locations. >> >> >> >> Join us on www.facebook.com >> <http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-ALS-Association-DCMDVA-Chapter/538618 >> 51169>  or follow us on ALSA DC/MD/VA (ALSofDcMdVa) on Twitter >> <http://twitter.com/ALSofDcMdVa> >> >> Confidentiality Notice: This message and any attachments are only for the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential, privileged and/or protected health information.  If you are not the intended recipient of this message, please: 1) be advised that unauthorized review, use, copying, disclosure, or distribution is strictly prohibited and may be unlawful; 2) notify the sender of the delivery by reply e-mail or contact RIC's Privacy Officer at 312.238.0766 or xxxxxx@xxxxxxx; and 3) delete and destroy all copies of the message and its attachments.
