2: Simulated Paint and Email Program
This video shows the use of a simplified computer desktop with the neural cursor. The first task shown is to open an email program, and then the first and second emails that appear. After opening each email, the subject reads the email; this shows an ability to control the cursor while carrying out another action, in this case reading and speaking. This is followed by three attempts to paint a circle. An eraser icon can be seen top left which must be avoided while drawing the circle. The email and initial two circle drawing attempts are continuous video. Approximately 8 minutes later, after several other tasks were performed, the third circle drawing attempt was performed. This was trial day 98. The email icon selection was typical of Matt's performance over the several days this task was provided. He was able to complete a loop on each day, from the first day requested; the third circle shown here was the most symmetric drawn.
