Figure 1
Ventral brainstem lesion in the locked-in syndrome as shown by MRI (A); graphical representation of interrupted efferent corticospinal and corticocerebellar tracts (in black) and preserved afferent spinocerebellar tracts (in red) in LIS patients (B); hypothesized mechanism by which Sonoception technology may contribute to reduce the mismatch between the efferent (defective) and the afferent (healthy) pathways in LIS and to restore properly working forward programs (C).
