Tokyo, March 26 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000061060) titled 'EEG Phase Synchronization Associated with Electrotactile Morse-Code Collision Avoidance in People with Blindness' on March 26.
Study Type:
Interventional
Study Design:
Basic Design - Single arm
Randomization - Non-randomized
Blinding - Open -no one is blinded
Control - Historical
Primary Sponsor:
Institute - Gunma Paz University
Condition:
Condition - Individuals with Blindness
Classification by malignancy - Others
Genomic information - NO
Objective:
Narrative objectives1 - To evaluate task success in an electrotactile Morse code collision-avoidance task in blind participants, to determine whether age at vision loss predicts success in adventitiously blind individuals, and to identify EEG connectivity patterns associated with successful versus failed task performance.
Basic objectives2 - Efficacy
Intervention:
Interventions/Control_1 - Participants performed continuous lateral head rotation. When the onboard computer vision system detected an approaching person within the frontal camera field of view, the corresponding Morse code signal was delivered electrotactically to the skin surface. Participants were instructed to cease head rotation and point their index finger toward the midline upon perceiving and identifying the delivered Morse code character.
Eligibility:
Age-lower limit - 20
years-old
=
Gender - Male and Female
