I’ve been working on brain-computer interface administration of cognitive tests for those with physical disabilities interfering with assessment.  We have some good preliminary results but funding has been slow to get.

Hello all!

 

I have been getting a lot of questions about effective cognitive testing in our pALS from the clinics we support here. I believe we, as the ALS Association, recommend the ALS CBS, but I know that is just a screening device, plus several of my clinics report that they do not like it d/t its 'clunky-ness." Anyone have experience or thoughts about different options? 

 

Thank you!
