Unlock Project
The Unlock Project is a non-profit project founded in 2011 by Dr. Frank Guenther, director of the Neural Prosthesis Laboratory in the Department of Speech, Language & Hearing Sciences at Boston University’s Sargent College of Health & Rehabilitation Sciences. The purpose of the Unlock Project is to provide brain-machine interface (BMI) technology to individuals suffering from locked-in syndrome (LIS), characterized by complete or near-complete loss of voluntary motor function with intact sensation and cognition. LIS is typically the result of brain stem stroke or late stage amyotrophic lateral schlerosis (ALS). Being locked in has been compared to being buried alive; sufferers of LIS often feel completely isolated from friends and family due to their inability to communicate.

Recent research breakthroughs involving BMIs have advanced the technology to the point where relatively inexpensive, robust BMIs using electroencephalography (EEG) are now possible. Members of the Neural Prosthesis Laboratory at Boston University are developing such a BMI and making it available to locked-in patients through the Unlock Project. EEG is totally non-invasive, thus requiring no surgery. Electrodes are simply attached to the scalp to record neural signals that can be used to control a computer and other devices. The Unlock Project BMI consists of an EEG system that is wirelessly connected to a laptop computer, along with peripheral hardware including an infrared remote control. The system also includes software to decode brain signals from the EEG system and use them to control computer “apps” that allow the user to control augmentative communication software and to remotely control televisions and other audio-visual devices. Other apps under development include internet browsing, email, and word processing.

Funding for the Unlock Project is provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF), Boston University Sargent College of Health & Rehabilitation Sciences and CELEST, an NSF Science of Learning Center.
