Prof. Niels Birbaumer | Brain computer interfaces in paralyis and voluntary brain regulation

Guest Lecture

  • Date: Feb 17, 2017
  • Time: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM (Local Time Germany)

The lecture presents brain communication in completely paralysed locked in patients and speculates on a motor theory of thinking. Local neurofeedback-regulation of specific brain areas using fMRI needs an intact motor system, still, behavioral effects of local brain regulation in pathophysiology are difficult to replicate.
