    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Rehabilitation Technology

    Background:

    • Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) progressively damages motor neurons, leading to severe mobility and communication impairments.
    • Existing assistive technologies often fail to adequately address the complex needs of ALS patients, necessitating innovative solutions.
    • The loss of neuromuscular function in ALS highlights the critical need for non-invasive systems to restore independence.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a wearable multimodal brain-computer interface (BCI) mouse system for daily assistance in ALS patients.
    • To enable ALS patients with upper and lower extremity limitations to control computers and wheelchairs.
    • To assess the system's effectiveness, usability, and workload in a simulated daily task environment.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a BCI mouse system with two subsystems: one for upper extremity (computer control) and one for lower extremity (wheelchair control).
    • Utilized a BCI headband for cursor control through head rotation and eye blinking, integrated with custom graphical user interfaces (GUIs).
    • Conducted task-based evaluations with 15 patients for the mouse system and 9 patients for the wheelchair system, measuring accuracy and workload (NASA-TLX).

    Main Results:

    • All participating ALS patients successfully completed the designed daily tasks using the BCI mouse system.
    • Achieved high average accuracies of 83.9% for the mouse system and 87.0% for the wheelchair system.
    • Low workload scores reported by participants, indicating user-friendliness and comfort during system operation.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed wearable multimodal BCI mouse system offers effective daily assistance for ALS patients, significantly improving their ability to interact with their environment.
    • The system demonstrates a promising potential for long-term application, enhancing communication and mobility for individuals with severe motor impairments.
    • This BCI-based approach represents a significant advancement in assistive technology for neurodegenerative diseases like ALS.
