5 million people worldwide suffer from severe communication and mobility disabilities due to ALS, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophies, ischemic or traumatic injury. Based on a proprietary Brain-Computer Interfaces technology, Braincontrol interprets the electric map that corresponds with certain brain activity and allows patients to control a communicator, home controls and other assistive technologies. The talk will present the Braincontrol technology which started as a research project at the University of Siena and it is today a CE class I Medical Device, available on the market forthe benefit of end-users.
