Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Rehabilitation Engineering
  • Assistive Technology

Background:

  • Brain-computer interface (BCI) wheelchairs offer enhanced independence for individuals with mobility impairments.
  • Limited end-user input in BCI development hinders device adoption.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore spinal cord injury (SCI) patients' perceptions, needs, and expectations for BCI-controlled wheelchairs.
  • To identify key factors influencing the design and adoption of BCI assistive technology.

Main Methods:

  • Semi-structured interviews were conducted with SCI patients.
  • Grounded theory principles were applied to analyze transcribed interview data.
  • Discussions covered BCI paradigms, control, safety, hardware, and experimental design.

Main Results:

  • Most participants viewed BCI wheelchairs positively and expressed willingness to use them.
  • Key concerns included safety, cost, and aesthetics.
  • End-users prefer intuitive paradigms over current motor-imagery focus, highlighting the need for enhanced safety and obstacle avoidance.

Conclusions:

  • BCI-controlled wheelchairs are a promising assistive technology for SCI patients.
  • A person-centered design approach, focusing on intuitive control and personalization, is crucial for widespread adoption.
  • Future research should prioritize user-driven design and advanced safety features.
