BRAIN COMPUTER INTERFACES AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS
The brain–computer interfaces (BCI) are interfaces that put the user in communication with an electronic device based on signals originating from the brain.
BciAi4Sla was a multidisciplinary project involving computer scientists, physiologists, biomedical engineers, neurologists, and psychologists with the aim of designing and developing a BCI system following a user-centered approach, involving domain experts and users since initial prototyping steps in a design–test–redesign development cycle.
The project intended to develop a software platform able to restore a communication channel in patients who have compromised their communication possibilities due to illness or accidents. The most common case is the patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
This research was funded by Fondazione CRT in the context of the 2018 funding program, grant number 2018.2314.
