FHT guest lecture: Efficacious BCI neurorehabilitation for stroke & multiple sclerosis
30 May | Christy Li of g.tec will present on Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology and demonstrate its effectiveness in rehabilitation.
About the Lecture
The Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) research area is a thriving and rapidly expanding field. BCIs have been developed during the last years for people with severe disabilities to improve their quality of life. However, BCI applications have recently been extended to different research areas, such as rapid functional mapping on the cortical level, virtual reality and rehabilitation & therapy after stroke. The workshop will discuss prerequisites to successfully perform both invasive and non-invasive BCI experiments, and discuss progress in relevant medical domains. Live demonstrations of BCI control will help attendees understand the technology. Brain-computer interfaces are used as a treatment for the motor rehabilitation in stroke survivors. The motor impairment that affects walking is one of the most frequent limitations, which causes a high functional deficit in the patient's autonomy. This workshop would also discuss the effectiveness of the BCI technology combined with Functional Electrical Stimulation for the motor rehabilitation of both the upper and lower extremity for stroke and multiple sclerosis patients.
