Brain - Computer Interfaces in neurological rehabilitation
نویسنده
چکیده
1 During my third year clinical rotations, I met Melissa 1 , a 12 year old who suffered a haemorrhagic stroke caused by an undetected brain tumour, which left her suffering with locked-in syndrome (LIS). LIS is a rare condition caused by brainstem damage resulting in sudden quadriplegia (sometimes sparing ocular muscles), with preserved consciousness and cognition. Sufferers are left severely limited. Meeting Melissa initiated my interest in therapies to improve the abilities and function of those with severe neuromuscular disorders including LIS.

متن کاملNew Applications for Non-invasive Brain-Computer Interfaces and the Need for Engaging Training Environments
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are able to measure the activity of the human brain and detect and discriminate specific brain patterns. The main application of BCIs has been and is to control assistive devices and provide communication for people who have lost voluntary control of their muscle activity. Recent progress in BCI research, however, has broadened the field of possible applications...
متن کاملAn adaptive brain actuated system for augmenting rehabilitation
For people living with paralysis, restoration of hand function remains the top priority because it leads to independence and improvement in quality of life. In approaches to restore hand and arm function, a goal is to better engage voluntary control and counteract maladaptive brain reorganization that results from non-use. Standard rehabilitation augmented with developments from the study of br...
