Abstract

  • Severely paralyzed people often need communication tools that do not depend on muscle control. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) measure specific features of brain activity and translate them into device commands. Most current noninvasive BCIs use sensorimotor rhythms (SMR), slow cortical potentials (SCPs), or the event-related P300 potential. We are comparing BCI use with these features in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in a within subject design.
  • We are also assessing the interaction of psychological variables (i.e., current mood, motivation, quality of life, depression) and BCI use.
