Table 1 Patients, diseases, and potential benefits of BCI.
From: Enhanced EEG signal classification in brain computer interfaces using hybrid deep learning models
Patient type | Disease | Estimated number of patients affected | Potential benefits of BCI |
|---|---|---|---|
Stroke survivors6 | Stroke-induced Hemi- paresis | 80 million stroke survivors worldwide | Regain motor control, enhance rehabilitation outcomes, improve quality of life |
Spinal cord injury patients7 | Spinal cord injury (SCI) | 250,000 to 500,000 new cases annually | Restore communication abilities, enable control of assistive devices, improve mobility |
ALS patients8 | Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) | 200,000 worldwide | Enable communication, control of de- vices, and potentially slow disease progression |
Cerebral palsy patients9 | Cerebral palsy | 17 million worldwide | Assist with communication, control of assistive technologies, enhance quality of life |
Parkinson’s disease patients10 | Parkinson’s disease | 10 million worldwide | Assist in managing symptoms, improve motor control, provide a communication channel |
Epilepsy patients11 | Epilepsy | 50 million worldwide | Monitor brain activity to predict seizures, improve treatment outcomes, enhance daily safety |
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients12 | Traumatic brain injury (TBI) | 69 million annually | Aid in rehabilitation, restore lost cognitive functions, enhance communication and mobility |
Locked-In Syndrome Pa- tients13 | Locked-In Syndrome | 10,000 to 20,000 world- wide | Enable communication, provide control of assistive technologies, improve inter- action with the environment. |
Multiple Sclerosis Pa- tients14 | Multiple Sclerosis (MS) | 2.8 million worldwide | Assist in managing symptoms, improve communication, enhance mobility through assistive devices. |
Dementia Patients15 | Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Dementias | 55 million worldwide | Potential early diagnosis, enhance communication, assist in daily activities. |
