Relatives' report
pp. 127-128
Abstract
In this chapter it is described how an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patient made contact with brain–computer interfaces during the last period of his life and how this influenced his life. The rather private report on the burden of a fatal diagnosis and the dealing with the unpreventable loss of motor abilities was given by the patient's wife shortly after he had passed away.
