Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology shows promise for assessing and rehabilitating cognitive function in vascular cognitive impairment (VCI). Combined BCI interventions improved attention and global cognition, but more research is needed.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) is a significant consequence of cerebrovascular diseases, impacting various cognitive domains.
  • Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology offers potential for cognitive assessment and rehabilitation in VCI patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the current applications of BCI technology for cognitive function in patients with VCI.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic literature search was conducted across major databases (Medline, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane) following PRISMA 2020 guidelines.
  • Studies published between January 2000 and March 2026 evaluating BCI for cognitive function in VCI patients were included.
  • Data from 30 studies involving 696 stroke patients, 71 with early cerebral microangiopathy, and 128 with VCI without dementia were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • BCI interventions, particularly when combined with other technologies (e.g., VR, FES, acupuncture), demonstrated effectiveness in cognitive rehabilitation for VCI.
  • Attention was the most consistently improved cognitive domain.
  • Global cognitive function showed improvement, though not universally, while memory, executive function, and language outcomes varied.

Conclusions:

  • BCI is a promising tool for cognitive assessment and rehabilitation in VCI.
  • Heterogeneity across studies limits definitive conclusions.
  • Further large-scale, standardized randomized controlled trials are necessary to validate BCI efficacy and elucidate underlying mechanisms.
