August 31, 2018 Congrats to Jonathan Wolpaw et al. for outstanding results in at-home use of a #BCI system for #ALS patients. I also commend #AAN for publishing a concurrent editorial by Niels Birbaumer & Leigh Hochberg highlighting the success of the study despite the challenges presented by a very difficult disease.
