A motor rehabilitation BCI with multi-modal feedback in chronic stroke patients (P5.300)

Conclusions:BCI accuracy is an objective marker of a patient’s participation in the task; 50% means that patient doesn’t follow (or cannot follow) the task. This patient’s continued improvement and high final accuracy indicates motivated participation. Most importantly, there was objective improvement in motor function within only 25 training sessions. We attribute these results to the conditionally gated reward from the BCI (inducing Hebbian plasticity), and mirror neuron system activation by the avatar.Disclosure: Dr. Guger has received personal compensation for activities with g.tec Medical Engineering GmbH as an employee.
