Brain Imaging

Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans),  magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),  functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Rehabilitation Engineering
  • Assistive Technology

Background:

  • Severe motor disabilities significantly impact quality of life, limiting communication, mobility, and environmental control.
  • Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) offer a potential solution by translating brain activity into device control for paralyzed individuals.
  • Existing assistive technologies can be enhanced by integrating advanced systems like BCIs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement and validate an integrated assistive system for individuals with severe motor disabilities.
  • To assess the system's ability to improve or restore mobility and communication.
  • To evaluate the feasibility of using non-invasive EEG-based BCIs for controlling assistive devices.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot study involving 14 patients with severe motor disabilities due to neurodegenerative disorders.
  • Development of a software controller adapting to users' residual motor abilities.
  • Training patients in a house-like environment using traditional assistive controls and a non-invasive EEG-based BCI.

Main Results:

  • The integrated system allowed users to improve mobility and communication.
  • Four subjects successfully learned to operate the system using EEG-based BCIs by modulating sensorimotor rhythms.
  • Skill acquisition was achieved despite long-term loss of limb control.

Conclusions:

  • An integrated assistive system combining various technologies, including BCIs, shows promise for clinical application.
  • Such systems can potentially bridge the gap between pre-clinical BCI research and practical clinical use.
  • BCI technology can restore or enhance control and communication for severely paralyzed individuals.
