          Appeal No. 96-2635                                                          
          Application 07/993,050                                                      



                    producing a binary control signal by changing between             
          (a) and (b).                                                                
                    21.  Method of producing a communication or control               
          signal by an unaided person, comprising:                                    
                    monitoring the mu wave from the brain of the person;              
                    determining whether the mu wave is above or below a               
          single threshold value, wherein values above the threshold                  
          correspond to the person at rest, when the person is neither                
          moving nor thinking of moving a body part of the person, and                
          values below the threshold correspond to movement, when the                 
          person is either moving or thinking of moving a body part of the            
          person;                                                                     
                    producing changes above and below the single threshold            
          value by alternating between (a) neither moving nor thinking of             
          moving a body part of the person and (b) either moving or                   
          thinking of moving a body part of the person,                               
                    producing a binary communication or control signal from           
          the changes of the mu wave above and below the threshold value.             
















                                         - A2 -
