| Abstract(in English) | A Yes/No communication aid using infrared light for totally locked-in ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) patients has been studied. In the former experiment an ALS patient showed significantly higher accuracy rate of his answers (with 5% significant level) when his wife attached her hand to his than when she didn’t. This time we did a replication experiment and got the same result. From the statics view this repeated results are significant when the significant differences occur 5 times successively. Further experiment is scheduled 3 times to show the significance above. |
