We sought to: 1) define a protocol for determining whether a person with ALS can use a visual P300-based BCI; 2) determine what proportion of this population can use the BCI; and 3) identify factors affecting BCI performance. Twenty-five individuals with ALS completed an evaluation protocol using a standard 6 × 6 matrix and parameters selected by stepwise linear discrimination. With an 8-channel EEG montage, the subjects fell into two groups in BCI accuracy (chance accuracy 3%). Seventeen averaged 92 (± 3)% (range 71-100%), which is adequate for communication (G70 group). Eight averaged 12 (± 6)% (range 0-36%), inadequate for communication (L40 subject group). Performance did not correlate with disability: 11/17 (65%) of G70 subjects were severely disabled (i.e. ALSFRS-R &lt; 5). All L40 subjects had visual impairments (e.g. nystagmus, diplopia, ptosis). P300 was larger and more anterior in G70 subjects. A 16-channel montage did not significantly improve accuracy. In conclusion, most people severely disabled by ALS could use a visual P300-based BCI for communication. In those who could not, visual impairment was the principal obstacle. For these individuals, auditory P300-based BCIs might be effective.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3-4</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chadwick B.

Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology might be useful for rehabilitation of motor function. This speculation is based on the premise that modifying the EEG will modify behavior, a proposition for which there is limited empirical data. The present study examined the possibility that voluntary modulation of sensorimotor rhythm (SMR) can affect motor behavior in normal human subjects.
METHODS:
Six individuals performed a cued-reaction task with variable warning periods. A typical variable foreperiod effect was associated with SMR desynchronization. SMR features that correlated with reaction times were then used to control a two-target cursor movement BCI task. Following successful BCI training, an uncued reaction time task was embedded within the cursor movement task.
RESULTS:
Voluntarily increasing SMR beta rhythms was associated with longer reaction times than decreasing SMR beta rhythms.
CONCLUSIONS:
Voluntary modulation of EEG SMR can affect motor behavior.
SIGNIFICANCE:
These results encourage studies that integrate BCI training into rehabilitation protocols and examine its capacity to augment restoration of useful motor function.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anthony T.

Recorded over temporal scalp, it consists of an 80-90 ms positive peak, Ta, and a 120-140 negative peak, Tb. As part of an effort to develop the clinical usefulness of the T complex in assessing auditory cortical function, we studied the effects of change in monaural stimulus intensity (20-80 dB SL) on T complex latency, amplitude, and hemispheric differences in normal adults. Ta and Tb peak latencies decreased as stimulus intensity increased. These latency changes were not dependent on ear or hemisphere. Right hemisphere Ta latency was shorter with contralateral than with ipsilateral stimulation; while left hemisphere Ta latency was not dependent on the ear stimulated. Tb latency was shorter over the left hemisphere, and over the contralateral hemisphere. Ta-b amplitude increased as stimulus intensity increased. This amplitude change was not dependent on ear or hemisphere. Ta-b amplitudes were larger over the right hemisphere and over the contralateral hemisphere. Hemispheric asymmetries were not significantly affected by stimulus intensity.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jonathan Wolpaw</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Single unit activity vs. amplitude of the epidural evoked potential in primary auditory cortex of awake cats.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Electroencephalography and clinical neurophysiology</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Reaction Time</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1979</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">09/1979</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/90607</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">47</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">372–376</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The study investigated, in primary auditory cortex (AI) of awake cats, the relationship over a range of stimuli between the amplitude and latency of the initial positive deflection (P1) of the primary evoked potential and the intensity of concurrent underlying evoked single unit activity. Epidural evoked potentials and extracellular responses of 155 single units to monaural 100 musec clicks ranging from 45 to 110 dB were recorded. At low stimulus levels, considerable unit response could occur with a very small P1. At middle stimulus levels, unit response was directly proportional to P1 amplitude. At higher stimulus levels, P1 amplitude continued to increase while unit response began to saturate.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jonathan Wolpaw</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Penry, J.

The present study investigated the ipsilateral vs. contralateral and right vs. left hemispheric differences in N1P2 and T complex latencies and amplitudes. One msec clicks at 60 dB above threshold were presented at 4.7 sec intervals monaurally to 32 normal adults and binaurally to 13 of the 32. AERs were recorded from vertex and temporal referred to a balanced non-cephalic reference electrode. For monaural stimulation, N1P2 and T complex amplitudes were significantly greater and T complex latency was significantly less over the contralateral and right hemispheres. The ipsilateral vs. contralateral and right vs. left hemispheric amplitude differences were significanlty greater for the T complex than for N1P2. Binaural results, which provided in additional measure of right vs. left hemispheric differences, were in agreement with the monaural findings. The results are consistent with neurophysiologic and behavioral findings in regard to ipsilateral vs. contralateral and right vs. left hemispheric differences and support the hypothesis that the T complex is produced by secondary auditory cortex.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
