The first Brain Painting exhibition of the BCI end user HHEM started on July 3, 2014 in Würzburg, Germany. HHEM exhibits 45 of her brain paintings, which can be visited until December 31 in the FORUM of the VR-Bank in Würzburg (Marktplatz 2, 97070 Würzburg).

HHEM was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in 2007 and is completely paralyzed except eye movements. Brain Painting uses event-related potentials (P300) as input signals for BCI control. Different shapes, sizes, colors, and so on are presented for selection within a matrix. HHEM has been using Brain Painting for more than two years independent of BCI experts at her home with the help of her family and caregivers. Brain Painting brought back the world of colors to HHEM.
