The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of hypocapnia on postural standing balance using the sharpened Romberg test (SRT).

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of lower carbon dioxide levels on exercise capacity, tissue oxygen delivery and recovery in healthy participants.

The purpose of this study is to design and develop a wearable amplification device with the capability of an extended high frequency range for improved fidelity, directionality, noise cancellation, and surround sound. 

Noninvasive electrostimulation of the cochlea has notable benefits for normal hearing and hearing-impaired individuals that extend well-beyond conventional acoustic and bone conducted enhancements of sound.  Although the technique has been known since the 19th century little clinical attention or application of the technique has occurred, particularly related to a wearable technology for individual use.  

The purpose of this study is to develop real-time measurements of oculomotor and cognitive performance during Oculo-Cognitive Test (OCAT) to provide early signs of cognitive impairment due to cerebral hypoxia.
