Mind over movement: BCI therapy shows promise for stroke gait recovery

This study tested a brain-computer interface (BCI) system that uses mental practice, electrical stimulation, and virtual reality to help stroke survivors improve their walking. Thirty participants who had a stroke at least six months ago were split into two groups: one used the full BCI system, and the other used the same tools without brain monitoring. The goal was to see if the BCI approach was safe and more effective than standard therapy for boosting gait speed and mobility.
