has developed innovative technology enabling hands-free device control and communications in noisy environments. This patented technology uses an in-ear microphone that captures sounds that travel back into the ear canal. We then use proprietary speech algorithms, including a speech recognition engine, to process this signal and recognized commands are sent to the unmanned system. Along with hands-free, heads-up device control capabilities, TAM has also created acoustic echo cancellation, ambient noise reduction, and signal processing algorithms to enable its technology to be used in a communications headset. Think-A-Move has also performed pioneering research to be able to use tongue movement for device control

The investigators in this study sponsored by the University of Michigan are working on a tool to help people who are severely paralyzed. This tool is called a brain-computer interface (BCI). BCIs can connect to computers or other electronic devices, such as a power wheelchair. In this study, patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) will be able to control the tilt feature of their power wheelchair using only brainwaves, allowing for independent control.

Designer of customized, ergonomic driving controls

Information on Study sponsored by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. Study completed and examined how the brain controls movements in patients with certain types of cerebral palsy. Last updated March 2008

Multicenter, randomized, controlled trial to compare the anti-seizure effect of parenteral MgSO4 versus oral labetalol in hypertensive pregnant women who are eligible for MgSO4 therapy. The primary outcome measure is eclampsia, and the secondary outcome measures include blood pressure control, and relevant antenatal, intrapartum, and postnatal maternal and fetal/neonatal parameters including adverse effects and complications.

Proposed study is designed to evaluate patients at particular risk for preterm delivery; those with advanced cervical exam. In this randomized prospective controlled study, we intend to examine the influence of adjunctive antibiotic use in preterm labor complicated by a cervical exam of 4 cm or greater. Comparison will be made between a study group receiving broad-spectrum antibiotics with a control group that will not receive antibiotics for pregnancy prolongation

Study is designed to provide short term efficacy and safety data of TRI476 in children with inadequately-controlled partial seizures. The purpose of study is to confirm that TRI476 as adjunctive therapy is effective and safe.

NINDS - a Brain-Recording Device that Melts into Place - The technology could pave the way for better devices to monitor and control seizures, and to transmit signals from the brain past damaged parts of the spinal cord. "These implants have the potential to maximize the contact between electrodes and brain tissue, while minimizing damage to the brain. They could provide a platform for a range of devices with applications in epilepsy, spinal cord injuries and other neurological disorders," said Walter Koroshetz, M.D., deputy director of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), part of the National Institutes of Health.

Mayo study to evaluate a potential new treatment for epilepsy. Researchers want to learn if the investigational drug called perampanel is safe and can help people with partial seizures who are already taking seizure medications and the current seizure medications are not enough to control those seizures. Perampanel is being tested as a possible add-on drug for people with seizures who are taking other seizure medications.

Mayo Clinic researchers are looking at a new procedure that involves surgically placing a Responsive Neurostimulator (RNS) in the brain that may be able to suppress seizures in patients with epilepsy

Study being conducted to learn about the effects (both good and bad) of a brain stimulating device known as the External Responsive Neurostimulating System. This is an investigational device that was designed to detect seizure activity and give an electrical stimulation to the brain to try to stop it

Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) can change the respiratory dynamics and performance of the inspiratory and expiratory muscles, affecting ventilatory capacity. This was a randomized, controlled, open study to test the impact of a physiotherapeutic program of aerobic exercises on respiratory muscle strength, in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Patients with AIS were randomly assigned to the aerobic exercise-training program group or the no treatment group. There was a significant increase in Pimax and Pemax in the group which received physiotherapy.
