What we are looking for, this is our challenge.

purpose

The project intends to develop a software platform (BciAi4Sla) capable of restoring a communication channel in patients who have compromised their communication possibilities due to illness or accidents. The most common case is that of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)

needs in the area

The situation of ALS patients in the Piedmont area is specifically controlled by the regional expert center for ALS (CRESLA) of Turin which is the Regional Reference Center for ALS (DGR 30 December 2009, n. 27-12969). The research activities of CRESLA are aimed at the study of ALS on the epidemiological, clinical, cognitive, genetic, neuropathological and neurobiological aspects..

technology

The Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI), are interfaces that put the user in communication with an electronic device through the brain activity he voluntarily produced.
