title: Brain-computer interface targeting non-motor functions after spinal cord injury: a case report.
abstract: METHODS
  This is a case report.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  The objective of this study was to report on a brain-computer interface (BCI) paradigm that is successfully used with an inpatient spinal cord injury patient.
  
  
  METHODS
  This study was conducted in an inpatient rehabilitation hospital.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 25-year-old man with a C5 burst fracture and subsequent tetraplegia (The American Spinal Injury Association) participated in this case study. He completed a brief battery of psychological, pain, cognitive and other screening measures at points before and after the BCI paradigm during his rehabilitation hospitalization.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The paradigm was easily learned and well tolerated with no adverse effects.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This case is reflective of the trends in our ongoing feasibility study evaluating BCI technology in the inpatient rehabilitation setting. Clinical implications and challenges of using this technology in a busy hospital unit are reviewed.
