Feasibility of Using Source-Level Brain Computer Interface for People with Multiple Sclerosis.

This work evaluates the feasibility of using a source level Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) for people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Data used was previously collected EEG of eight participants (one participant with MS and seven neurotypical participants) who performed imagined movement of the right and left hand. Equivalent current dipole cluster fitting was used to assess related brain activity at the source level and assessed using dipole location and power spectrum analysis.

Feasibility of using discrete Brain Computer Interface for people with Multiple Sclerosis.

Aim: Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) hold promise to provide people with partial or complete paralysis, the ability to control assistive technology. This study reports offline classification of imagined and executed movements of the upper and lower limb in one participant with multiple sclerosis and people with no limb function deficits.

Methods: We collected neural signals using electroencephalography (EEG) while participants performed executed and imagined motor tasks as directed by prompts shown on a screen.

Rabies-based vaccine induces potent immune responses against Nipah virus.

Nipah Virus (NiV) is a re-emerging zoonotic pathogen in the genus of the family of viruses. NiV is endemic to Bangladesh and Malaysia and is highly fatal to both livestock and humans (human case fatality rate = 74.5%).
