Ramsey is very delighted with the prize. “It is an important recognition for the discipline-transcending and translational nature of our research, and endorses the importance of our work for the small but very function-limited target group, patients with the locked-in syndrome (LIS). The recognition is an important boost for the team and puts our research in the spotlight. It also gives us the opportunity to expand our research program and to reach more potential candidates. Ultimately, we also want to offer solutions to less severely paralyzed people to promote independence and participation in society.”
The prize will be awarded on the 20th of September during a public symposium entitled ‘Health is more than Medicine’. It is an initiative of SIGO: a Foundation for Interdisciplinary Behavioral Science Research.
