This device was created by Maysam Ghovanloo, an assistant professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and his team in the GT-Bionics Lab.

This novel wireless and wearable system allows paralyzed individuals to control a powered wheelchair, operate a computer, and interact with their environments by simply moving their tongues. The device was recently validated through its first clinical trials at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta.
