Study Summary

This study was intended to evaluate a new assistive neuro-technology, known as the Tongue Drive System (TDS), by its potential end-users, i.e. individuals with severe disabilities, who are the best experts for indicating the benefits and possible shortcomings of any new ANT. Our goal is to assess the acceptability and usability of the TDS for various tasks that are important in daily lives of these individuals, such as computer access, wheeled mobility, and environmental control.

Primary Outcome

Subjects used the tongue drive system (TDS) to move the mouse cursor towards targets with various sizes and distances on the computer screen (Horizontal Tapping task) and select those targets. The computer measured the time it took for the subjects to reach the targets and the accuracy of their selections from the center of the targets. This data was then fed into an equation, which provided the throughput measure. The unit of throughput is "bits per second". The high value of throughput means
