NCT02004977
The goals of this intervention study are to implement best practice strategies to expand and promote the school breakfast program and test the impact upon student participation rates among a) all 10th and 11th grade students and among a randomly selected cohort of 800 students b) total diet and body mass index and percent body fat inin 16 rural Minnesota school districts. School-wide Primary Aim: Improve participation in the school breakfast program among high school students. Hypothesis: School-wide school breakfast program participation will be higher in the intervention versus comparison group.

Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness in the developed world. The causes of the disease are poorly understood. One of the earliest changes that occur in the retinas of diabetic patients, well before overt retinopathy is observed, is a reduction in light-evoked increases in blood flow in retinal vessels. The loss of this vascular response may lead to retinal hypoxia and it has been suggested that hypoxia could be a principal cause of diabetic retinopathy. The long-term goals of this project are to determine whether decreased blood flow in diabetic patients and the resulting retinal hypoxia contributes to the development of diabetic retinopathy and whether restoration of normal blood flow in diabetic patients slows or prevents the development of retinopathy.

Noninvasive Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) have been used to control a number of virtual and physical objects through the voluntary modulation of brain rhythms. Current issues with noninvasive BCIs include exhausting motor imagery tasks and long training times required to achieve competent control. The investigators will address these issues within this protocol, examining new approaches to reduce the effort required by subjects to control a physical object in the task. The PI's hypothesis is: Control of a physical robotic device will increase the performance of subjects in BCI tasks that are analogous to virtual tasks due to greater engagement with a physical output.
