Pupil responses allow communication in locked-in syndrome patients.
[locked-in syndrome]
For
patients
with
severe
motor
disabilities
,
a
robust
means
of
communication
is
a
crucial
factor
for
their
well-being
[

.
We
report
here
that
pupil
size
measured
by
a
bedside
camera
can
be
used
to
communicate
with
patients
with
locked-
in
syndrome
.
With
the
same
protocol
we
demonstrate
command-following
for
a
patient
in
a
minimally
conscious
state
,
suggesting
its
potential
as
a
diagnostic
tool
for
patients
whose
state
of
consciousness
is
in
question
.
Importantly
,
neither
training
nor
individual
adjustment
of
our
system
's
decoding
parameters
were
required
for
successful
decoding
of
patients
'
