Requirements for Brain-Computer Interfaces of People with Multiple Sclerosis (Survey Results)

<b>A detailed description of the study is available </b><b>here</b><b>. Please cite the following article when using this data.</b>John S. Russo, et al. Towards Developing Brain-Computer Interfaces for People with Multiple Sclerosis. <i>arXiv. </i>Apr 9, 2024.OverviewThis study surveyed people with multiple sclerosis to understand their interest in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), bionic applications, device preferences, and development considerations and related these to symptoms and assistance needs. Thirty-four participants took part in the anonymous survey. This study was approved by the University of Melbourne Human Research Ethics Committee (ID: 26078).Data<b>survey_results.csv</b> contains the survey results. The first row contains column headings, the second row briefly describes each column/question, and the remaining rows contain participant responses. In Q10.1 and Q10.2, participants list activities they currently find difficult or worry they may find difficult in the future. These were manually labelled into categories of Moving, Self-care and Working by the authors in G10.1 and G10.2. In Q12.1-Q12.4, participants rank their BCI preferences from 1 (most preferred) to 4 (least preferred). <b>survey.pdf</b> contains the survey, which was distributed via Qualtrics. Participants ranked their preferences for only a single BCI scenario in the online survey.ContactIf you have any questions, please contact John at [e-mail].

### 研究概况
本研究针对多发性硬化患者开展匿名问卷调查，旨在了解其对脑机接口、仿生应用的兴趣程度、设备偏好及开发考量，并将上述信息与患者症状及辅助需求相关联。本次调查共招募34名参与者，研究方案已通过墨尔本大学人类研究伦理委员会审批（审批编号：26078）。

### 数据集说明
<b>survey_results.csv</b> 存储本次调查的全部结果。文件首行为列标题，第二行为各列对应问题的简要说明，剩余行均为参与者的问卷作答数据。
在Q10.1与Q10.2题中，参与者需列出当前感到困难或未来可能感到困难的活动，作者已在G10.1与G10.2中将这些活动手动归类为「行动」「自我照护」与「工作」三类。
在Q12.1至Q12.4题中，参与者需对脑机接口偏好进行排序，其中1代表最偏好，4代表最不偏好。<b>survey.pdf</b> 为本次调查问卷原文，通过Qualtrics平台发放。本次线上调查中，参与者仅需针对单个脑机接口场景完成偏好排序。
