Beschreibung
While most healthy subjects are capable of operating a brain-computer interface (BCI) that enables basic communication, those that stand to benefit most from this technology, i.e., patients in late stages of amyotrophic lateral sclerosi s (ALS), remain incapable of communicating by means of a BCI. This is arguably a result of a limited understanding how neural and cognitive processes are affected by ALS. In this talk, I summarize our research over the past years on the cognitive and neural correlates of ALS disease progression, and outline how these insights may be used to design BCIs for late-stage ALS patients.
