Operation of a brain-computer interface walking simulator for individuals with spinal cord injury

Abstract: BackgroundSpinal cord injury (SCI) can leave the affected individuals with paraparesis or paraplegia, thus rendering them unable to ambulate. Since there are currently no restorative treatments for this population, novel approaches such as brain-controlled prostheses have been sought. Our recent studies show that a brain-computer interface (BCI) can be used to control ambulation within a virtual reality environment (VRE), suggesting that a BCI-controlled lower extremity prosthesis for ambulation may be feasibl… Show more

“…12,14,15 Single and multiple sessions of VF for balance may improve task performance, [16][17][18][19] static and dynamic sitting balance [16][17][18][19] and may increase practice volume and attention span. 16 Single and multiple sessions of VF for leg muscle functions may increase muscle strength, endurance and ankle joint range of motion, 21 as well as improve gait patterns, gait speed, muscle strength, balance, ankle dorsiflexion (reducing foot drag) and mobility up to 12-16 weeks after training.…”

“…[25][26][27] The results of this pilot study show the need to advance this study into a more complex and comprehensive trial that will include different technology perspectives and MR approaches, especially for persons with SCI. 27 Additionally, the results of this study support the finding that individuals with SCI have greater difficulty in sustaining prolonged exercise practices, possibly due to the physical barriers associated with SCI. It is essential to provide participants with accommodations to allow them to perform as independently as possible while using exercise equipment.…”

“…3). Analyzing EEG brain waves can help us understand and detect brain disorders (dementia/seizure/stroke), conduct brain imaging, analyze thoughts, control robots, and play video games using the mind (see [13,19,6,10,11,17,14,21] among others). However, EEG data sets even for normal people are rather limited in the public domain, in sharp contrast to the abundant image and speech data driving the recent advances of artificial intelligence.…”
