From Code to Care: Computer Science and Neurotech to help ALS Patients with Mohammad Sahal

What if you could help revolutionize how we care for people with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)? Mohammad Sahal, with his unique blend of computer science and neuroscience expertise, is doing just that! Join us for the third episode of the BCI Award Neurocareers podcast series as we take a deep dive to learn how the non-invasive, low-cost, portable neuroergonomic BCI system is transforming the way we care for ALS patients. Discover how custom augmented reality displays are helping patients improve their quality of life from the comfort of their own homes and how this technology is breaking down barriers and revolutionizing healthcare!

Join us as we continue exploring the fascinating world of neurotech and focus on the project "A Neuroergonomic BCI with Custom Augmented Reality Display Targeting Continuous At-home Use for People Living with ALS," developed by Sahal and his team, which was nominated for the International Annual BCI Award 2021. Sahal also shares his advice for early career development in the neurotech field and suggests how to submit a successful BCI Award project.

This podcast is brought to you through the partnership between Dr. Christoph Guger at g.tec medical engineering GmbH and Neurocareers podcast host Milena Korostenskaja, PhD at The Institute of Neuroapproaches.
