What would brain-computer interface users want? Opinions and priorities of potential users with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

摘要

ObjectiveUniversal design principles advocate inclusion of end users in every design stage, including research and development. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have long been described as potential tools to enable people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) to operate technology without moving. Therefore the objective of the current study is to determine the opinions and priorities of people with ALS regarding BCI design. This information will guide BCIs in development to meet end user needs.
