• Human Factors Issues in the Neural Signals Direct Brain-Computer Interface

  Melody M. Moore, Philip R. Kennedy (2000) — Proceedings of the Fourth International ACM Conference on Assistive Technologies (Assets '00)

  This paper presents the software and human factors aspects of the Neural Signals direct brain-computer interface project — one of the first implanted BCI systems tested in humans. Unlike non-invasive BCIs that read EEG signals through the scalp, this…

• Text-to-Speeches: Evaluating the Perception of Concurrent Speech by Blind People

  João Guerreiro, Daniel Gonçalves (2014) — ASSETS '14: Proceedings of the 16th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers & Accessibility

  This paper investigates whether blind people can leverage the Cocktail Party Effect—the human ability to focus on one speech source among several while still detecting relevant content in the background—to more efficiently scan digital information. S…

• Towards Effective Telerehabilitation: Assessing Effects of Applying Augmented Reality in Remote Rehabilitation of Patients Suffering from Multiple Sclerosis

  Magdalena Pruszyńska, Marta Milewska-Jędrzejczak, Igor Bednarski, Piotr Szpakowski, Andrzej Głąbiński, Sławomir Konrad Tadeja (2022) — ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing

  This paper presents a randomized controlled trial evaluating augmented reality-based telerehabilitation for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). The study involved 30 patients with relapsing-remitting MS, randomly assigned to either an AR intervent…
