Personalized Stroke Rehabilitation: A Fusion of 3D User Interface Guidance and Brain-Computer Interface

This paper presents BCI-3D ReHaB, a rehabilitation system based on Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology that integrates Virtual Reality (VR) to aid in the recovery of motor impairments in stroke survivors. The system utilizes visual feedback and customizable 3D environments to enhance the rehabilitation process. The study focuses on developing an innovative User Interface (UI) that facilitates movement visualization and personalization. Additionally, the system incorporates electroencephalogram (EEG) acquisition to monitor real-time brain activity, ensuring the synchronization of EEG signals with physical movement markers. Pilot tests demonstrate the system’s effectiveness in aligning neural activity with motor actions and supporting motor imagery (MI). BCI-3D ReHaB represents a significant advancement in stroke rehabilitation, offering a personalized and immersive approach that aligns neural activity with physical movements, thereby enhancing the recovery process.
