SubsidieMeestersIntracranial Neuro Telemetry to Restore Communication
INTRECOM aims to develop a novel, fully implantable Brain-Computer Interface that enables real-time speech decoding for patients with Locked-In Syndrome, improving their communication and quality of life.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Not being able to communicate while still being conscious is a horrifying prospect for many patients worldwide. Patients with motor neuron disorders, trauma, or stroke risk losing complete muscle control, leading to Locked-In Syndrome (LIS), which leaves them completely paralyzed and unable to communicate.
Impact on Quality of Life
This is an intolerable, fearful situation with very low quality of life and extreme burden of care for patients, family, and caregivers.
Project Overview
Intracranial Neuro Telemetry to REstore COMmunication (INTRECOM) will provide a breakthrough for these patients by developing a novel, fully implantable Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology that allows for real-time speech decoding and use in the home environment.
Technological Advancements
This BCI system will significantly transcend current technology by providing:
- A high-resolution device
- A sustainable device
- State-of-the-art hardware and software solutions based on Artificial Intelligence (AI)
These advancements aim to liberate LIS patients from their isolation.
