Move a computer mouse with your thoughts
4:00 pm to 9:00 pm

Be part of a demonstration where you can use EEG brain signals to move the mouse on your computer screen. 
First we record examples of your EEG signals when you imagine moving your arm up.  
Then we record  your EEG  signals when you imagine moving your arm down.
We then assign each EEG recording to a particular mouse movement. 
With a little practice, you can learn to move the cursor up and down on your computer screen!
