Locked-in yet not locked-out: developing individualized brain-based communication means for the paralyzed suitable for daily use
Start a new DMP in Loading
Communication is an essential element of human interaction. In the so-called locked-in syndrome, fully conscious and aware patients have lost the ability to communicate as a consequence of a severe motor paralysis. To help affected patients in this fateful condition, motor-independent communication through brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) has been suggested and implemented. However, until now, none of the existing BCI communication systems is applied at patients homes on a regular basis. The proposed research aims at filling this gap by developing novel individualized communication BCIs, based on mental imagery tasks and portable functional near-infrared spectroscopy, that are suited for daily use
