BCI in Neuroprosthetics & Neurorehabilitation

Abstract

Active Frontiers research topic collecting papers on brain-computer interface applications in neuroprosthetics and neurorehabilitation. BCIs transform neural activity into operational signals for external apparatuses through sophisticated signal processing and decoding.

Key Contributions

• BCI recognized as essential tool for motor function recovery
• Applications: motor disabilities, speech impairments, cognitive dysfunction, sensory deficits
• Covers both invasive and non-invasive approaches
• Integration with rehabilitation protocols showing promising outcomes

Full Content

The field is maturing from laboratory demonstrations to clinical deployments. Key trend: combining BCI with traditional rehabilitation creates synergistic effects beyond what either approach achieves alone. Speech restoration BCIs showing particular promise for locked-in patients.
