Abstract:

Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology can activate the plasticity of the nervous system and induce the reconnection of nervous system information pathways. Techniques for recording brain activity include invasive methods and non-invasive methods. Non-invasive methods are safer, more portable and cheaper, but are prone to signal pollution. For upper limbs rehabilitation in patients with severe chronic stroke, BCI of electroencephalogram and robotic arm is usually used, almost combined with other rehabilitation approaches, and seems to improve the effectiveness. It is necessary to improve the accuracy of BCI motion intention decoding, carry out hierarchical and customized treatment for patients, develop hybrid and portable BCI system.
