Change in brain activity through virtual reality-based brain-machine communication in a chronic tetraplegic subject with muscular dystrophy. BMC Neurosci. 2010 Sep 16;11(1):117 Authors: Hashimoto Y, Ushiba J, Kimura A, Liu M, Tomita Y ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: For severely paralyzed people, a brain-computer interface (BCI) provides a way of re-establishing communication.

To investigate these effects, we...
