Severe motor disability affects functional cortical integration in the context of brain-computer interface (BCI) use
ERGONOMICS, 55(5), 581–591.
author keywords: electroencephalography; EEG coherence; motor disability; brain-computer interface
MeSH headings : Adult; Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis / physiopathology; Brain / physiopathology; Cerebral Palsy / physiopathology; Communication Aids for Disabled; Electroencephalography; Female; Humans; Male; Severity of Illness Index; Task Performance and Analysis; User-Computer Interface; Young Adult
