People with severe motor disabilities can maintain an acceptable quality of life if they can communicate. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), which do not depend on muscle control, can provide communication. Four people severely disabled by ALS learned to operate a BCI with EEG rhythms recorded over sensorimotor cortex. These results suggest that a sensorimotor rhythm-based BCI could help maintain quality of life for people with ALS.
患有严重运动障碍的人如果能够进行交流,就可以维持可接受的生活质量。不依赖肌肉控制的脑机接口(BCI)能够实现交流。四名因肌萎缩侧索硬化症(ALS)而严重致残的人学会了通过记录感觉运动皮层的脑电节律来操作脑机接口。这些结果表明,基于感觉运动节律的脑机接口有助于维持肌萎缩侧索硬化症患者的生活质量。
