Why is it important?
The use of BCIs, until now, was restricted to people without cognitive impairment due to the need to understand the instruction of use. New research shows that with adapted paradigms these systems can be used by people with mild dementia.
Perspectives
Adapting the paradigm to cognitive impairment of the patient, the BCI systems based on neurofeedback techniques could be useful to people with dementia. Future studies can help provide an important tool to aid in the process of cognitive rehabilitation in mild dementia.
