abstract = {Past research into motor-independentcommunication for the
severely disabled has mainlyfocused on developing
brain-computer interfaces (BCIs)implementing neuroelectric
signals. More recently, alsohemodynamic brain signals have
been explored for BCIpurposes. Here, we introduce a novel,
straightforward,and easy-to-implement yes/no communication
paradigmrelying on mental imagery (mental drawing)
andportable functional near-infrared spectroscopy.
Tohemodynamically encode answers to binary
questions,participants either performed mental drawing
(forencoding “yes”) or did not change their mental state
(forencoding “no”). Participants’ answers were
decodedoffline using univariate and multivariate statistics.
Inapproximately half of the participants, accuraciesreached
$70\%$ or higher, which is considered a
sufficientperformance for binary communication BCIs. As
theproposed communication technique requires
relativelylittle cognitive capabilities, it might not only
serve as auseful communication means but also as a
diagnostictool for detecting preserved conscious awareness
innon-responsive patients.},
