Interfacing brain with computer to improve communication and rehabilitation after brain damage.

摘要: Communication and control of the external environment can be provided via brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) to replace a lost function in persons with severe diseases little or no chance recovery motor abilities (ie, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, brainstem stroke). BCIs allow intentionally modulate brain activity, train specific functions, prosthetic devices, thus, this technology also improve outcome rehabilitation programs who have suffered from central nervous system injury stroke leading cognitive impairment). Overall, BCI researcher is challenged interact people disabilities professionals field neurorehabilitation. This implies deep understanding disabled condition on one hand, it requires extensive knowledge physiology human other. For these reasons, multidisciplinary approach continuous involvement users design, development, testing new systems are desirable. In chapter, we will focus noninvasive EEG-based their clinical applications, highlighting crucial issues foster translation outside laboratories eventually become usable real-life realm.
