Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that causes loss of motor neurons and progressive weakness including loss of speech. The use of a brain computer interface (BCI) can enable communication and increase quality of life but to date the effects of mental fatigue have been ignored. Mental fatigue due to prolonged BCI use can reduce the accuracy and increase the response time which leads to a decrease in the utility and usability of the BCI. This study is aimed to investigate biomarkers for electrophysiological and hemodynamic correlates of mental fatigue in a controlled experiment with ALS patients and healthy participants. These preliminary results indicated that EEG and fNIRS based biomarkers can be used to capture neurophysiological changes due to prolonged BCI use.
