Personal statement from Heide Pfützner

"My name is Heide Pfützner. Inspiration is a part of me that I have been exercing through painting for several years. The diagnosis ALS in 2007 fundamentally changed my life. I am now completely paralysed and require the assistance of artifical respiration. I communicate through eye-movements and also through an eye-tracker system that can make myself understood. Since January 2012 I can paint again with an EEG cap, a Gammabox EEG and 2 computer monitors to create my digital Brain Paintings."citation from startnext crowdfunding page
