Abstract Synopsis

  • Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are designed to help paralyzed patients communicate by controlling external devices through brain activity, bypassing damaged motor systems, especially in conditions like ALS.
  • The article discusses the differences between locked-in state (LIS) and completely locked-in state (CLIS), recent advancements in BCIs for CLIS patients, and how such communication methods can improve emotional wellbeing and quality of life.
  • It also covers the neuropsychological and neurophysiological factors affecting BCI performance, the future outlook for enabling communication for fully paralyzed individuals, and the research needed to make this possible.]
