Abstract:
Brain computer interface(BCI)is a cutting-edge technology that involves the cross-fertilisation of multiple disci-plines such as neuroscience,computer science,bioengineering,electrical engineering,psychology,etc.It can establish a direct communication path between the brain and external devices,providing the possibility for patients with spinal cord injury(SCI),stroke,amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and other conditions to restore their motor or communication abilities.From the first re-cording of brain electrical activity by Hans Berger,to the gradual development of BCI technology,it shows the continuous pro-gress of BCI technology.According to the signal acquisition method,BCI can be classified as noninvasive and invasive types,and the application scenarios of the two experimental paradigms are different.This review explores the current applications of BCI in spinal cord injury,including the treatment of paraplegic patients and the relief of neuropathic pain.BCI devices will develop to-wards the directions of personalization,household use and intelligence,and BCI technology is expected to demonstrate its unique value and potential in more fields.
