Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis(ALS) patients are unable to successfully communicate their desires, although their mental capacity is the same as non-affected persons. Thus, the author put emphasis on Event-Related Potential(ERP) which is the measured brain response. ERP is elicited for the target visual and auditory stimuli. Stimuli on which ALS patient is focusing can be specified by detecting ERP as an indicator of their desires. It becomes possible for ALS patient to switch on household electrical appliance and on the device which can move patient's finger by detecting ERP. ALS patients get their hope.
