Information gathered in this study may be useful when considering diagnosis of prolonged disorder of consciousness and successful adoption of device could lead to assistive communication intervention with therapeutic benefits. Participants undergo quick assessment to test ability to engage in task, if successful this implies they are minimally conscious, have some awareness of self and memory intact to remember commands. During training participant undergoes multiple sessions whereby they are conducting two different imagined movements to move a sound across the azimuthal plane in a direction dictated by an auditory cue. Participant will receive auditory feedback on the position of the sound which acts as a reflection of how well the participant is engaged in the task in terms of performance and consistency across trials. The participant will move on to use the imagined movements to answer a series of biographical, situational, basic logic and numbers/letters questions.
