Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have revolutionized the way humans interact with machines, particularly for patients with severe motor impairments. EEG-based BCIs have limited functionality due to the restricted pool of stimuli that they can distinguish, while those elaborating event-related potentials up to now employ paradigms that require the patient's perception of the eliciting stimulus. In this work, we propose MIRACLE: a novel BCI system that combines functional data analysis and machine-learning techniques to decode patients' minds from the elicited potentials.

Furthermore, the management of AHA is also more complex due to the presence of autoantibodies against FVIII (FVIII inhibitors).
