How Does BCI Treatment Reconnect The Brain To The Body?

For stroke survivors or those with neurological injuries, control over their bodies can be an impossible dream. BCI treatment is changing that game by building a bridge between the brain and the body.

 

This is a technology that reads the signals in your brain and translates them into actions. For people who have lost motor functions and Recovering From A Stroke, BCI can bypass damaged pathways and directly connect the brain to the body.

 

 

This connection lets the brain "talk" to muscles or assistive devices in a manner that helps restore movement even when usual communication channels are disrupted.

 

Detecting brain signals

 

The first step for BCI treatment at recoveriX is detecting activity in the brain. Sensors are placed either on the scalp or implanted into the brain where they capture the electrical signals formed by the firings of the neurons. These signals relate to thoughts or intentions, for example, lifting a hand or leg.

 

A person might envision picking up a cup. For that thought, the BCI system detects activity in the brain. Once the brain signals are captured, the BCI system processes and interprets them.

 

·         Activate robotic devices or prosthetics to perform the desired action.

·         Stimulate muscles directly through electrical impulses, encouraging movement.

 

Encouraging neuroplasticity

 

One of the most exciting applications of BCI Treatment For Motor Rehabilitation is its potential in neuroplasticity; the brain's ability to rewire itself. Repeated practice using BCI allows stroke survivors to retrain their brains to find new pathways to communicate with their bodies. This improves movement but also enhances coordination and strength.
