Sensory Restoration via Brain-Computer Interfaces: A Scoping Review

Read the original on arXiv AI →

This scoping review examines how brain‑computer interfaces (BCIs) can restore sensory and motor functions in people with severe neurological impairment. It introduces a unified 2×2 framework (invasiveness × signal direction) to map 31 key studies, highlighting that most evidence comes from invasive, efferent‑restoration approaches post‑2015. The paper outlines a roadmap toward closed‑loop, bidirectional restoration and identifies gaps in metric standardization, longitudinal data, and cross‑community collaboration.

Brain-to-Language Decoding: Tasks, Signals, Methods, Evaluation, Practical Use and Beyond

The article surveys brain‑to‑language decoding, covering tasks, neural signals, methods, and evaluation across invasive and non‑invasive modalities. It traces the field’s evolution from constrained recognition to text generation, streaming speech, and facial animation, linking tasks to neural populations and decoder representations. The review highlights complementary decoding targets, shared representations, and the growing importance of calibration, feedback, and user control for online communication, while proposing a five‑level future trajectory toward bidirectional cognitive exchange.
