A review of several studies looked at how brain-computer interface (BCI) technology affects stroke patients. Researchers compared patients using BCI technology to those receiving conventional rehabilitation. The study included data from 559 patients to see if these tools could help with brain function and daily tasks.
The results showed that patients using BCI technology had significant improvements in cognitive function. They also showed significant improvements in activities of daily living. These findings suggest that BCI technology could be a helpful tool for some people recovering from a stroke.
It is important to note that the evidence for these improvements is currently considered low to very low. The study also found not enough information to recommend BCI for improving speech or emotions. Because the evidence is still early and limited, these results should be seen as a starting point for future research.
