Abstract
ObjectiveThe incidence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been on the rise year by year around the globe. According to the latest Guidelines for the Management of Severe Traumatic Brain Injury (Fourth Edition) released by the Brain Trauma Foundation (BTF), there is no sufficient evidence that related medicine can promote the repairment of neural injury in the treatment of central nerve damage. The clinical treatment of TBI is facing multiple difficulties. In recent years, brain computer interface (BCI) technology has developed rapidly and shown enormous potential in TBI repairment, especially in visual and auditory restoration, neural function recovery, and cognitive restoration. BCI provides a new approach to improve the quality of life for patients. This paper reviews the application and prospect of BCI in sense, motion, and cognitive function repairment after TBI, so as to provide new insights for the treatment of TBI nerve function.
