Tongue-movement-based interfaces. The tongue-movement-based interface developed by [76]. This system has two inductive coils mounted at the lateral parts of the mouth and a ferromagnetic material attached at the tip of the tongue. The users generate control commands by moving the tongue to one of the user-defined locations. Tongue movement interfaces take advantage of the fact that highly paralyzed patients generally have tongue control and they can move it very rapidly and accurately within the oral space. Additional file 6 shows a SCI patient performing a driving task with a wheelchair that is controlled with this tongue-movement-based interface. Figure courtesy of Dr. Maysam Ghovanloo.
