Brain-computer interface technology:prospect and challenge of neurological rehabilitation in patients with spinal cord injuries
Spinal cord injury(SCI)is a devastating neurological disease that often leads to motor,sensory and autonomic dysfunction,and its treatment has been a worldwide medical problem.In recent years,with the devel-opment of neuroelectrophysiological technology,brain-computer interface(BCI)technology has been proved to be a-ble to promote the repair of nerve function after SCI,bringing a new light to the rehabilitation of nerve function in SCI patients.In this paper,the principle and classification of BCI technology,and application prospect of BCI technology in the treatment of SCI patients were reviewed,and the possible challenges were discussed.
