Cognitive function refers to the mental abilities involved in acquiring, manipulating, and applying information, including but not limited attention, memory, reasoning, language, spatial executive functions (Ni et al., 2022). These cognitive can deteriorate with age or due certain medical conditions, leading symptoms like memory loss, slowed thinking, concentration difficulties (Unbehaun 2021). impairment often serves as an early indicator of diseases Alzheimer's Parkinson's disease (PD) (Litvan 2011).Therapeutic interventions video games (VGs) music therapy (MT) have demonstrated effectiveness preventing mitigating decline enhancing function.

Maintaining optimal levels of engagement during rehabilitation training is crucial for inducing neuroplasticity in the motor cortex, which directly influences positive outcomes. In this research article, we propose a virtual reality (VR) system that incorporates steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) paradigm to provide feedback. The utilizes flickering target and cursor detect user’s target-tracking task. Eighteen healthy participants were recruited experience three experimental conditions: no feedback (NoF), performance (PF), neurofeedback (NF). Our results reveal significantly greater Mu suppression NF condition compared other conditions. However, significant differences observed metrics, such as tracking error, among amount between PF conditions also showed substantial difference. These findings suggest efficacy our SSVEP-based stimulating cortex activity rehabilitation. Consequently, conclude neurofeedback, based on attentional state, proves be more effective promoting activation facilitating neuroplastic changes. This highlights integrating VR with an successful training.

Neuralink’s advancements in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology have positioned the company as a leader this emerging field. The first human implant 2024, followed by subsequent developments such Blindsight for vision restoration, marks significant milestone neurotechnology. innovations, including miniaturized devices and robotic implantation techniques, promise transformative applications individuals with neurological conditions. However, these raise critical clinical, ethical, regulatory questions. From clinical perspective, BCIs show potential addressing severe disabilities, but long-term effects, safety, usability of remain uncertain. Ethical concerns focus on informed consent, patient autonomy, implications integrating into identity. bidirectional nature introduces privacy risks, highlighting need stringent oversight to safeguard sensitive neural data. Furthermore, company’s initial lack transparency, delayed trial registration, has drawn criticism from scientific community deviating established norms research ethics. Regulatory challenges also emerge intersect frameworks governing data privacy, medical devices, artificial intelligence. cohesive legal framework neurotechnology underscores importance developing comprehensive standards balance innovation protection fundamental rights. Finally, philosophical questions about identity agency arise blur boundaries between mind, body, technology. As BCI advances, it is imperative community, policymakers, society collaborate opportunities risks posed innovation.
