A brain-computer interface (BCI) enables the control of a peripheral device using signals
acquired from the brain. A key application of BCIs is in assistive systems for patients with …

Brain computer interfaces (BCIs) can find applications in assistive systems for patients who
experience conditions that impede their motor abilities. A BCI uses signals acquired from the …

An important application of brain computer interface devices (BCIs) is in assistive systems
for patients with motor and communication disabilities. Due to their condition, these patients …

In this paper, we study the effects of the presence of pain on the classification accuracy of
mental arithmetic tasks in functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)-based brain …

Introduction Pain assessment is extremely important in patients unable to communicate and
it is often done by clinical judgement. However, assessing pain using observable indicators …

The absence of verbal communication in some patients (eg, critically ill, suffering from
advanced dementia) difficults their pain assessment due to the impossibility to self-report …

Currently there is no validated objective measure of pain. Recent neuroimaging studies
have explored the feasibility of using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to …

Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a non-invasive form of Brain-Computer
Interface (BCI). It is used for the imaging of brain hemodynamics and has gained popularity …

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRs) is a noninvasive, invivo technique that
measure the brain activity through hemodynamic response on cerebral cortex area. fNIR …

Pain diagnosis for nonverbal patients represents a challenge in clinical settings.
Neuroimaging methods, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging and functional …
