Application of brain-computer interface in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease and gradual freezing disease, is a rare disease. At present, it mainly relies on drug therapy and supportive therapy, but the therapeutic effect is not significant. With the progress of medical technology and computer science, brain-computer interface technology, also known as BCI, has been developed in recent years. Previous studies have shown that BCI can be used to help patients with dyskinesia recover and assist patients with brain injury to recover after operation. With further research, the central nervous system signal is transformed into the external environments instruction. For patients with ALS and AD, it is possible to communicate with the outside world through BCI technology. This paper mainly discusses the application in the treatment of ALS to realize barrier-free communication between ALS patients and the outside world. This paper mainly introduces ALS, brain-computer interface technology, and case analysis and explores the application of brain-computer interface technology in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The conclusion is that this treatment method is obviously superior to the traditional method, but it has not been widely popularized and needs further study.
