Application progress of neural prosthesis in rehabilitation of patients with spinal cord injury
Abstract
Neural prosthesis is based on brain-computer interface (BCI), which directly acts on the muscle system or an external device by analyzing EEG control commands, so as to compensate the efferent pathway of brain-spinal cord-muscle and recover motor function of patients with spinal cord injury. The technology involves comprehensive research of multiple disciplines such as brain science, cognitive neuroscience, biomedical engineering, information and communication engineering, control science and engineering. This paper reviews recent advances of neural prosthesis in the rehabilitation treatment of patients with spinal cord injury.
