摘要

In this review article,we present more than a decade of our work on the development of brain-computer interface(BCI)systems for the restoration of walking following neurological injuries such as spinal cord injury(SCI)or stroke.Most of this work has been in the domain of non-invasive electroencephalogram-based BCIs,including interfacing our system with a virtual reality environment and physical prostheses.Real-time online tests are presented to demonstrate the ability of able-bodied subjects as well as those with SCI to purposefully operate our BCI system.Extensions of this work are also presented and include the development of a portable low-cost BCI suitable for at-home use,our ongoing efforts to develop a fully implantable BCI for the restoration of walking and leg sensation after SCI,and our novel BCI-based therapy for stroke rehabilitation.
