Electroencephalography-Based Brain-Machine Interfaces in Older Adults: A Literature Review.
Luca MesinGiuseppina Elena CiprianiMartina AmanzioPublished in: Bioengineering (Basel, Switzerland) (2023)
The aging process is a multifaceted phenomenon that affects cognitive-affective and physical functioning as well as interactions with the environment. Although subjective cognitive decline may be part of normal aging, negative changes objectified as cognitive impairment are present in neurocognitive disorders and functional abilities are most impaired in patients with dementia. Electroencephalography-based brain-machine interfaces (BMI) are being used to assist older people in their daily activities and to improve their quality of life with neuro-rehabilitative applications. This paper provides an overview of BMI used to assist older adults. Both technical issues (detection of signals, extraction of features, classification) and application-related aspects with respect to the users' needs are considered.
