Advancements in brain-computer interfaces for the rehabilitation of unilateral spatial neglect: a concise review.

This short review examines recent advancements in neurotechnologies within the context of managing unilateral spatial neglect (USN), a common condition following stroke. Despite the success of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) in restoring motor function, there is a notable absence of effective BCI devices for treating cerebral visual impairments, a prevalent consequence of brain lesions that significantly hinders rehabilitation. This review analyzes current non-invasive BCIs and technological solutions dedicated to cognitive rehabilitation, with a focus on visuo-attentional disorders. We emphasize the need for further research into the use of BCIs for managing cognitive impairments and propose a new potential solution for USN rehabilitation, by combining the clinical subtleties of this syndrome with the technological advancements made in the field of neurotechnologies.

Cortical signals analysis to recognize intralimb mobility using modified RNN and various EEG quantities

Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are critical in interpreting sensorimotor activities for predicting body movements. However, their efficacy in identifying intralimb movements, such as the dorsiflexion and plantar flexion of the foot, remains suboptimal. This study aims to explore whether various EEG signal quantities can effectively recognize intralimb movements to facilitate the development of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) devices for foot rehabilitation. This research involved twenty-two healthy, right-handed participants. EEG data were collected using 21 electrodes positioned over the motor cortex, while two electromyography (EMG) electrodes recorded the onset of ankle joint movements. The study focused on analyzing slow cortical potential (SCP) and sensorimotor rhythms (SMR) in alpha and beta bands from the EEG. Five key features—fourth-order Autoregressive feature, variance, waveform length, standard deviation, and permutation entropy—were extracted. A modified Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) including Long Short-term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) algorithms was developed for movement recognition. These were compared against conventional machine learning algorithms, including nonlinear Support Vector Machine (SVM) and k Nearest Neighbourhood (kNN) classifiers. The performance of the proposed models was assessed using two data schemes: within-subject and across-subjects. The findings demonstrated that the GRU and LSTM models significantly outperformed traditional machine learning algorithms in recognizing different EEG signal quantities for intralimb movement. The study indicates that deep learning models, particularly GRU and LSTM, hold superior potential over standard machine learning techniques in identifying intralimb movements using EEG signals. Where the accuracies of LSTM for within and across subjects were 98.87 ± 1.80 % and 87.38 ± 0.86 % respectively. Whereas the accuracy of GRU within and across subjects were 99.18 ± 1.28 % and 86.44 ± 0.69 % respectively. This advancement could significantly benefit the development of BCI devices aimed at foot rehabilitation, suggesting a new avenue for enhancing physical therapy outcomes.

Continuous tracking using deep learning-based decoding for noninvasive brain-computer interface.

Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) using electroencephalography provide a noninvasive method for users to interact with external devices without the need for muscle activation. While noninvasive BCIs have the potential to improve the quality of lives of healthy and motor-impaired individuals, they currently have limited applications due to inconsistent performance and low degrees of freedom. In this study, we use deep learning (DL)-based decoders for online continuous pursuit (CP), a complex BCI task requiring the user to track an object in 2D space. We developed a labeling system to use CP data for supervised learning, trained DL-based decoders based on two architectures, including a newly proposed adaptation of the PointNet architecture, and evaluated the performance over several online sessions. We rigorously evaluated the DL-based decoders in a total of 28 human participants, and found that the DL-based models improved throughout the sessions as more training data became available and significantly outperformed a traditional BCI decoder by the last session. We also performed additional experiments to test an implementation of transfer learning by pretraining models on data from other subjects, and midsession training to reduce intersession variability. The results from these experiments showed that pretraining did not significantly improve performance, but updating the models' midsession may have some benefit. Overall, these findings support the use of DL-based decoders for improving BCI performance in complex tasks like CP, which can expand the potential applications of BCI devices and help to improve the quality of lives of healthy and motor-impaired individuals.

Brain-Computer Interface for Emotion Recognition Based on Electroencephalography

Human emotions are erratic, and so are their brain signals throughout the day. Brain-computer interface devices must handle high signal throughputs in the form of electroencephalography from different areas of the human brain for us to learn more about these emotions. Researchers can recognize emotions from these signals after data acquisition, preprocessing, feature extraction, and feature selection to the classifier. Efficient machine learning algorithms for the process are imperative to quickly provide emotional feedback to a device. Models of such devices are already applicable in medical fields, gaming, and more. In the meantime, ethical considerations arise. Most people are concerned about their privacy infringements. This paper aims to assist researchers in swiftly comprehending the basic theory of emotion recognition while also offering insights into the future development of this highly interdisciplinary technology. Furthermore, it underscores the need for a delicate equilibrium between technological progress and human values.

Relevance Feedback with Brain Signals

The Relevance Feedback (RF) process relies on accurate and real-time relevance estimation of feedback documents to improve retrieval performance. Since collecting explicit relevance annotations imposes an extra burden on the user, extensive studies have explored using pseudo-relevance signals and implicit feedback signals as substitutes. However, such signals are indirect indicators of relevance and suffer from complex search scenarios where user interactions are absent or biased. Recently, the advances in portable and high-precision brain-computer interface (BCI) devices have shown the possibility to monitor user’s brain activities during search process. Brain signals can directly reflect user’s psychological responses to search results and thus it can act as additional and unbiased RF signals. To explore the effectiveness of brain signals in the context of RF, we propose a novel RF framework that combines BCI-based RF with pseudo-relevance signals and implicit signals to improve the performance of document re-ranking. The experimental results on the user study dataset show that incorporating brain signals leads to significant performance improvement in our RF framework. Besides, we observe that brain signals perform particularly well in several hard search scenarios, especially when implicit signals as feedback are missing or noisy. This reveals when and how to exploit brain signals in the context of RF.

Spatial Decoding for Gaze Independent Brain-Computer Interface Based on Covert Visual Attention Shift Using Electroencephalography.

The gaze-independent brain-computer interface (BCI) device is used to re-establish interaction for individuals who have abnormal eye movement. It may be possible to control the BCI by shifting your attention spatially. However, spatial attention is rarely employed to increase the effectiveness of target detection and is typically used to provide a simple "yes" or "no" response to the target recognition inquiry. To improve the effectiveness of detecting target, it is crucial to take advantage of the possible advantages of spatial attention. N2-posterior-contralateral (N2pc) component reflects correlates of visual spatial attention and is used to determine target position. In this study, a long-short-term memory (LSTM) network is used to answer "yes/no" questions by decoding covert spatial attention based on N2pc characteristics using EEG signals. The proposed LSTM-based model's average decoding accuracy is 92.79%. The target detection efficiency was successfully increased by about 4% when compared to conventional machine learning algorithms. The proposed model is tested on the independent dataset to validate its performance. The results of this work show that N2pc characteristics can be employed in gaze-independent BCIs for tracking covert attention shifts, which may help persons with poor eye mobility to connect with their environment.

Brain-Computer Interfaces for Communication in Patients with Disorders of Consciousness: A Gap Analysis and Scientific Roadmap.

We developed a gap analysis that examines the role of brain-computer interfaces (BCI) in patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC), focusing on their assessment, establishment of communication, and engagement with their environment. The Curing Coma Campaign convened a Coma Science work group that included 16 clinicians and neuroscientists with expertise in DoC. The work group met online biweekly and performed a gap analysis of the primary question. We outline a roadmap for assessing BCI readiness in patients with DoC and for advancing the use of BCI devices in patients with DoC. Additionally, we discuss preliminary studies that inform development of BCI solutions for communication and assessment of readiness for use of BCIs in DoC study participants. Special emphasis is placed on the challenges posed by the complex pathophysiologies caused by heterogeneous brain injuries and their impact on neuronal signaling. The differences between one-way and two-way communication are specifically considered. Possible implanted and noninvasive BCI solutions for acute and chronic DoC in adult and pediatric populations are also addressed. We identify clinical and technical gaps hindering the use of BCI in patients with DoC in each of these contexts and provide a roadmap for research aimed at improving communication for adults and children with DoC, spanning the clinical spectrum from intensive care unit to chronic care.

A Brain-Controlled Quadruped Robot: A Proof-of-Concept Demonstration.

Coupling brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and robotic systems in the future can enable seamless personal assistant systems in everyday life, with the requests that can be performed in a discrete manner, using one's brain activity only. These types of systems might be of a particular interest for people with locked-in syndrome (LIS) or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) because they can benefit from communicating with robotic assistants using brain sensing interfaces. In this proof-of-concept work, we explored how a wireless and wearable BCI device can control a quadruped robot-Boston Dynamics' Spot. The device measures the user's electroencephalography (EEG) and electrooculography (EOG) activity of the user from the electrodes embedded in the glasses' frame. The user responds to a series of questions with YES/NO answers by performing a brain-teaser activity of mental calculus. Each question-answer pair has a pre-configured set of actions for Spot. For instance, Spot was prompted to walk across a room, pick up an object, and retrieve it for the user (i.e., bring a bottle of water) when a sequence resolved to a YES response. Our system achieved at a success rate of 83.4%. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first integration of wireless, non-visual-based BCI systems with Spot in the context of personal assistant use cases. While this BCI quadruped robot system is an early prototype, future iterations may embody friendly and intuitive cues similar to regular service dogs. As such, this project aims to pave a path towards future developments in modern day personal assistant robots powered by wireless and wearable BCI systems in everyday living conditions.

Endovascular Brain-Computer Interfaces in Poststroke Paralysis.

Stroke is a leading cause of paralysis, most frequently affecting the upper limbs and vocal folds. Despite recent advances in care, stroke recovery invariably reaches a plateau, after which there are permanent neurological impairments. Implantable brain-computer interface devices offer the potential to bypass permanent neurological lesions. They function by (1) recording neural activity, (2) decoding the neural signal occurring in response to volitional motor intentions, and (3) generating digital control signals that may be used to control external devices. While brain-computer interface technology has the potential to revolutionize neurological care, clinical translation has been limited. Endovascular arrays present a novel form of minimally invasive brain-computer interface devices that have been deployed in human subjects during early feasibility studies. This article provides an overview of endovascular brain-computer interface devices and critically evaluates the patient with stroke as an implant candidate. Future opportunities are mapped, along with the challenges arising when decoding neural activity following infarction. Limitations arise when considering intracerebral hemorrhage and motor cortex lesions; however, future directions are outlined that aim to address these challenges.

Change in Frequency Modulation of Electroencephalographic Activity in Imaginary and Real Limb Movement

INTRODUCTION: Investigation of electroencephalographic activity as a marker of cognitive processes in the brain traditionally focuses on the analysis in the frequency domain considering rhythms of encephalogram (EEG) as potential carriers of information needed for research. At the same time, analysis of the EEG frequency modulation effects requires improvement of approaches in the field of digital signal processing. Taking into account the fact that frequency modulation of EEG, as well as amplitude modulation, can be a marker of a number of states, it seems promising to develop a method for detecting this phenomenon and using it to evaluate a number of parameters of the brain dynamics associated with biological feedback systems. AIM: To evaluate the phenomena of frequency modulation when the user performs tasks associated with the control of external devices based on the brain–computer interface, implemented in the phenomena of electrical activity in the motor cortex area.
 MATERIALS AND METHODS: To obtain the data, a group of thirty volunteers of both genders aged 17 to 23 years was formed. The participants of the experiment had to execute four commands and repeat them in an unknown order set by the program. The experiment was conducted in two ways: physically and mentally. That is, in the first method, each command corresponded to a certain movement of a person, in the second — the same commands were executed in imagination, the movement was imagined mentally. The command was considered successfully executed if the volunteer managed to repeat and hold the position set by the program for two seconds.
 RESULTS: Based on the developed method for evaluating the frequency modulation of the EEG, the dynamics of the electrical activity of the brain was studied in the range of 9 Hz to 12 Hz when a user was performing real and imaginary movements. A comparative analysis showed that the differences were mostly recorded in the condition when the subject did not achieve the goal. At the same time, the differences to a greater extent were observed in the experiments where the subject had to make real, rather than imaginary movements. The significant differences between low- and high-frequency modulations were associated with the inability for the user to generate the requested command, which he could see by the biofeedback mechanism. It has been established that the greater the number of high-frequency restructures observed on the EEG, the smaller number of low-frequency restructures occur at the same epoch of analysis.
 CONCLUSION: The results obtained considerably expand the understanding of the mechanisms of frequency modulation of the EEG. In general, the methods and algorithms underlying the analysis that permitted their identification can be used to solve a wide range of tasks related to processing of EEG signals, including improvement of methods for detecting user errors by EEG when controlling brain-computer interface devices.

Cortical activation of neuromuscular electrical stimulation synchronized mirror neuron rehabilitation strategies: an fNIRS study.

The mirror neuron system (MNS) plays a key role in the neural mechanism underlying motor learning and neural plasticity. Action observation (AO), action execution (AE), and a combination of both, known as action imitation (AI), are the most commonly used rehabilitation strategies based on MNS. It is possible to enhance the cortical activation area and amplitude by combining traditional neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) with other top-down and active rehabilitation strategies based on the MNS theory. This study aimed to explore the cortical activation patterns induced by NMES synchronized with rehabilitation strategies based on MNS, namely NMES+AO, NMES+AE, and NMES+AI. In addition, the study aimed to assess the feasibility of these three novel rehabilitative treatments in order to provide insights and evidence for the design, implementation, and application of brain-computer interfaces. A total of 70 healthy adults were recruited from July 2022 to February 2023, and 66 of them were finally included in the analysis. The cortical activation patterns during NMES+AO, NMES+AE, and NMES+AI were detected using the functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) technique. The action to be observed, executed, or imitated was right wrist and hand extension, and two square-shaped NMES electrodes were placed on the right extensor digitorum communis. A block design was adopted to evaluate the activation intensity of the left MNS brain regions. General linear model results showed that compared with the control condition, the number of channels significantly activated (PFDR < 0.05) in the NMES+AO, NMES+AE, and NMES+AI conditions were 3, 9, and 9, respectively. Region of interest (ROI) analysis showed that 2 ROIs were significantly activated (PFDR < 0.05) in the NMES+AO condition, including BA6 and BA44; 5 ROIs were significantly activated in the NMES+AE condition, including BA6, BA40, BA44, BA45, and BA46; and 6 ROIs were significantly activated in the NMES+AI condition, including BA6, BA7, BA40, BA44, BA45, and BA46. The MNS was activated during neuromuscular electrical stimulation combined with an AO, AE, and AI intervention. The synchronous application of NMES and mirror neuron rehabilitation strategies is feasible in clinical rehabilitation. The fNIRS signal patterns observed in this study could be used to develop brain-computer interface and neurofeedback therapy rehabilitation devices.

EEG data for motor imagery brain-computer interface using low-cost equipment

EEG-based brain-computer interfaces (BCI) for motor imagery recognition can be used in many applications, including prosthesis control, post-stroke motor rehabilitation, communication, and videogames. Such BCIs usually need to be calibrated with EEG data before being used. The calibration can use data from either a single person, the same person who will use the equipment, or a group of different people. However, although BCIs are increasingly used in research and real-world problems, high equipment costs prevent their popularization in personal use applications. For this reason, there are many ongoing efforts to create more affordable BCI devices. Nevertheless, most public datasets for motor imagery EEG-BCIs still use expensive equipment. Therefore, our work presents a dataset for EEG-based motor imagery BCIs focused on personal use applications. Using a low-cost 16-electrode EEG OpenBCI Cyton+Daisy Biosensing Board, we recorded the brain signals of 6 subjects while they imagined the movements of their hands, resulting in a dataset containing 960 trials of left and right-hand motor imagery. This dataset can be used to calibrate BCIs using similar low-cost equipment as well as study the signals generated by such equipment.

BCI-controlled wheelchairs: end-users’ perceptions, needs, and expectations, an interview-based study

Purpose Brain-computer interface (BCI)-controlled wheelchairs have the potential to improve the independence of people with mobility impairments. The low uptake of BCI devices has been linked to a lack of knowledge among researchers of the needs of end-users that should influence BCI development. Materials and methods This study used semi-structured interviews to learn about the perceptions, needs, and expectations of spinal cord injury (SCI) patients with regards to a BCI-controlled wheelchair. Topics discussed in the interview include: paradigms, shared control, safety, robustness, channel selection, hardware, and experimental design. The interviews were recorded and then transcribed. Analysis was carried out using coding based on grounded theory principles. Results The majority of participants had a positive view of BCI-controlled wheelchair technology and were willing to use the technology. Core issues were raised regarding safety, cost and aesthetics. Interview discussions were linked to state-of-the-art BCI technology. The results challenge the current reliance of researchers on the motor-imagery paradigm by suggesting end-users expect highly intuitive paradigms. There also needs to be a stronger focus on obstacle avoidance and safety features in BCI wheelchairs. Finally, the development of control approaches that can be personalized for individual users may be instrumental for widespread adoption of these devices. Conclusions This study, based on interviews with SCI patients, indicates that BCI-controlled wheelchairs are a promising assistive technology that would be well received by end-users. Recommendations for a more person-centered design of BCI controlled wheelchairs are made and clear avenues for future research are identified. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Brain-computer interface (BCI)-controlled wheelchairs are a promising assistive technology. The majority of participants had positive views of these devices and showed a willingness to try out such a device. Concerns centered on safety, cost and aesthetics. Integrated obstacle avoidance was viewed positively by most of the participants, but some had a negative view, expressing concerns about its safety, or reduced autonomy. Customizable control options should thus be integrated to cater for the needs of different individuals.

Identifying risk controls for future advanced brain-computer interfaces: A prospective risk assessment approach using work domain analysis

Brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies are progressing rapidly and may eventually be implemented widely within society, yet their risks have arguably not yet been comprehensively identified, nor understood. This study analysed an anticipated invasive BCI system lifecycle to identify the individual, organisational, and societal risks associated with BCIs, and controls that could be used to mitigate or eliminate these risks. A BCI system lifecycle work domain analysis model was developed and validated with 10 subject matter experts. The model was subsequently used to undertake a systems thinking-based risk assessment approach to identify risks that could emerge when functions are either undertaken sub-optimally or not undertaken at all. Eighteen broad risk themes were identified that could negatively impact the BCI system lifecycle in a variety of unique ways, while a larger number of controls for these risks were also identified. The most concerning risks included inadequate regulation of BCI technologies and inadequate training of BCI stakeholders, such as users and clinicians. In addition to specifying a practical set of risk controls to inform BCI device design, manufacture, adoption, and utilisation, the results demonstrate the complexity involved in managing BCI risks and suggests that a system-wide coordinated response is required. Future research is required to evaluate the comprehensiveness of the identified risks and the practicality of implementing the risk controls.

Portable deep-learning decoder for motor imaginary EEG signals based on a novel compact convolutional neural network incorporating spatial-attention mechanism.

Due to high computational requirements, deep-learning decoders for motor imaginary (MI) electroencephalography (EEG) signals are usually implemented on bulky and heavy computing devices that are inconvenient for physical actions. To date, the application of deep-learning techniques in independent portable brain-computer-interface (BCI) devices has not been extensively explored. In this study, we proposed a high-accuracy MI EEG decoder by incorporating spatial-attention mechanism into convolution neural network (CNN), and deployed it on fully integrated single-chip microcontroller unit (MCU). After the CNN model was trained on workstation computer using GigaDB MI datasets (52 subjects), its parameters were then extracted and converted to build deep-learning architecture interpreter on MCU. For comparison, EEG-Inception model was also trained using the same dataset, and was deployed on MCU. The results indicate that our deep-learning model can independently decode imaginary left-/right-hand motions. The mean accuracy of the proposed compact CNN reaches 96.75 ± 2.41% (8 channels: Frontocentral3 (FC3), FC4, Central1 (C1), C2, Central-Parietal1 (CP1), CP2, C3, and C4), versus 76.96 ± 19.08% of EEG-Inception (6 channels: FC3, FC4, C1, C2, CP1, and CP2). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first portable deep-learning decoder for MI EEG signals. The findings demonstrate high-accuracy deep-learning decoding of MI EEG in a portable mode, which has great implications for hand-disabled patients. Our portable system can be used for developing artificial-intelligent wearable BCI devices, as it is less computationally expensive and convenient for real-life application.

Design of virtual BCI channels based on informer.

The precision and reliability of electroencephalogram (EEG) data are essential for the effective functioning of a brain-computer interface (BCI). As the number of BCI acquisition channels increases, more EEG information can be gathered. However, having too many channels will reduce the practicability of the BCI system, raise the likelihood of poor-quality channels, and lead to information misinterpretation. These issues pose challenges to the advancement of BCI systems. Determining the optimal configuration of BCI acquisition channels can minimize the number of channels utilized, but it is challenging to maintain the original operating system and accommodate individual variations in channel layout. To address these concerns, this study introduces the EEG-completion-informer (EC-informer), which is based on the Informer architecture known for its effectiveness in time-series problems. By providing input from four BCI acquisition channels, the EC-informer can generate several virtual acquisition channels to extract additional EEG information for analysis. This approach allows for the direct inheritance of the original model, significantly reducing researchers' workload. Moreover, EC-informers demonstrate strong performance in damaged channel repair and poor channel identification. Using the Informer as a foundation, the study proposes the EC-informer, tailored to BCI requirements and demanding only a small number of training samples. This approach eliminates the need for extensive computing units to train an efficient, lightweight model while preserving comprehensive information about target channels. The study also confirms that the proposed model can be transferred to other operators with minimal loss, exhibiting robust applicability. The EC-informer's features enable original BCI devices to adapt to a broader range of classification algorithms and relax the operational requirements of BCI devices, which could facilitate the promotion of the use of BCI devices in daily life.

Applications of EEG-Based Brain-Computer Interface Devices in Rehabilitation

BCI techniques narrow the gap between the human brain and external devices. Previous investigation using Brain-Machine Interfaces to control devices such as wheelchairs has shown that the technology could be effective in limb rehabilitation. There has been limited research on using BCI in performing a grasp and reach task using a prosthetic arm. The authors of this paper thus sought to determine how possible and effective the procedure can be performed considering the multiple degrees of freedom of the human arm. Moreover, stroke is among the leading causes of death globally. Stroke events, in most cases, leave the patient with severe brain damage that usually includes impaired motor functions. BCI-based techniques have shown the capacity to restore the motor functions of patients. However, there is a need for the BCI methods to be coupled with cognitive training approaches to improve other bodily functions of stroke patients. Also, since the first electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG) were implemented in the 1920s, their clinical applications, theories, and testing techniques have improved tremendously. Generally, brain imaging techniques have evolved rapidly since the 1920s. This paper explores the applications of EEG-based Brain-Computer Interfaces in medical rehabilitation.
