Children with severe physical disabilities are often unable to independently explore their environments, further contributing to complex developmental delays. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) could be a novel access method to power mobility for children who struggle to use existing alternate access technologies, allowing them to reap the developmental, social, and psychological benefits of independent mobility. In this pilot study we demonstrated that children with quadriplegic cerebral palsy can use a simple BCI system to explore movement with a power mobility device. Four children were able to use the BCI to drive forward at least 7m, although more practice is needed to achieve more efficient driving skills through sustained BCI activations.
患有严重身体残疾的儿童通常无法独立探索环境，这进一步导致了复杂的发育迟缓。脑机接口 (BCI) 可能是一种新的接入方法，可以为那些难以使用现有替代接入技术的儿童提供电动移动能力，使他们能够从独立移动中获得发展、社交和心理上的益处。在这项初步研究中，我们证明了四肢瘫痪脑瘫儿童可以使用简单的脑机接口系统来使用电动移动设备进行移动探索。四个孩子能够使用脑机接口向前行驶至少 7 米，尽管需要更多的练习才能通过持续的脑机接口激活来实现更高效的驾驶技能。
