A Bibliometric Review of Brain–Computer Interfaces in Motor Imagery and Steady-State Visually Evoked Potentials for Applications in Rehabilitation and Robotics

Abstract

In this paper, a bibliometric review is conducted on brain–computer interfaces (BCI) in non-invasive paradigms like motor imagery (MI) and steady-state visually evoked potentials (SSVEP) for applications in rehabilitation and robotics. An exploratory and descriptive approach is used in the analysis. Computational tools such as the biblioshiny application for R-Bibliometrix and VOSViewer are employed to generate data on years, sources, authors, affiliation, country, documents, co-author, co-citation, and co-occurrence. This article allows for the identification of different bibliometric indicators such as the research process, evolution, visibility, volume, influence, impact, and production in the field of brain–computer interfaces for MI and SSVEP paradigms in rehabilitation and robotics applications from 2000 to August 2024.
