S3-3. Clinical application of electroencephalogram-based brain-machine interfaces

A large number of electroencephalogram-based brain-machine interface (BMI) systems developed by industry and academia are now available for neurorehabilitation. However, the lack of phase 1 –2 clinical trials for BMI interventions to post-stroke hemiplegia has been limited their treatment outcome. To test the safety and feasibility of BMI interventions, we conducted trials with a customly developed BMI system for patients with acute/subacute hemiparetic stroke. Four inpatients partic ipated in this study in the early phase (7–24 days from stroke onset).
