What Kind Of Exercises Do Patients Do During BCI Therapy?

BCI therapy is not simply sitting in a chair with electrodes on your head; it's an active, interactive process that involves mental effort, technology, and sometimes even gaming or robotics. But how does a session of BCI therapy unfold? Let us dissect it and see the various types of exercises that patients do during BCI rehabilitation.

 Mental imagery exercises

Mental imagery is one of the fundamental components of Bci-Based Neurorehabilitation. Patients are instructed to visualize moving their limbs without actually moving them. The BCI system picks up on the brain signals associated with imagined movements and converts them into feedback in real time. For instance, a patient with a stroke can imagine holding something, and the BCI system would decode and reinforce those signals.

2.     Motor training with virtual reality

Virtual Reality (VR) is commonly used in conjunction with recoveriX BCI therapy to render rehabilitation more interactive. Patients can view a virtual arm or leg on a monitor and move it using their brain signals.

3.     EEG-based feedback games

Gamification is another large aspect of BCI rehabilitation. Patients tend to play EEG-based games in which they move objects on a screen with their minds. Aside from physical rehabilitation, other BCI therapies target cognitive processes such as memory and attention.

4.     Mirror therapy with BCI integration

Mirror therapy is also employed in Stroke Rehabiliation in combination with BCI. A patient may put their healthy limb in front of a mirror while the BCI system records their brain activity. The brain is tricked into thinking that both limbs are moving, which can speed up recovery by activating the affected side.
