Abstract

Background: Although the application of brain-computer interface (BCI) technology in rehabilitation has been extensively studied, a systematic and comprehensive bibliometric analysis of this area remains lacking. Thus, this study aims to analyze the research progress of BCI technology in rehabilitation through bibliometric methods.

Methods: The study retrieved relevant publications on BCI technology in rehabilitation from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) between January 1, 2004, and June 30, 2024. The search was conducted using thematic queries, and the document types included "original articles" and "review articles." Bibliometric analysis and knowledge mapping were performed using the Bibliometrix package in R software and CiteSpace software.

Results: During the study period, a total of 1,431 publications on BCI technology in rehabilitation were published by 4,932 authors from 1,281 institutions across 79 countries in 386 academic journals. The volume of research literature in this field has shown a steady upward trend. The United States of America (USA) and China are the primary contributors, with Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen being the most active research institution. The journal Frontiers in Neuroscience published the most articles, while the Journal of Neural Engineering was the most cited. Niels Birbaumer not only authored the most articles but also received the highest number of citations. The main research areas include neurology, sports medicine, and ophthalmology. The diverse applications of BCI technology in stroke and spinal cord injury rehabilitation, as well as the evaluation of BCI performance, are current research hotspots. Moreover, deep learning has demonstrated significant potential in BCI technology rehabilitation applications.

Conclusion: This bibliometric study provides an overview of the research landscape and developmental trends of BCI technology in rehabilitation, offering valuable reference points for researchers in formulating future research strategies.

康复领域脑机接口技术的知识图谱和研究趋势：文献计量分析。

背景：尽管脑机接口（BCI）技术在康复领域的应用已被广泛研究，但该领域仍然缺乏系统全面的文献计量分析。因此，本研究旨在通过文献计量学方法分析康复领域 BCI 技术的研究进展：本研究从科学网核心文献集（WoSCC）中检索了 2004 年 1 月 1 日至 2024 年 6 月 30 日期间有关康复领域 BCI 技术的相关出版物。检索采用主题查询法，文献类型包括 "原创文章 "和 "综述文章"。使用 R 软件中的 Bibliometrix 软件包和 CiteSpace 软件进行了文献计量分析和知识图谱绘制：在研究期间，来自 79 个国家 1,281 个机构的 4,932 位作者在 386 种学术期刊上共发表了 1,431 篇有关康复领域 BCI 技术的论文。该领域的研究文献量呈稳步上升趋势。美利坚合众国（美国）和中国是该领域的主要贡献者，而图宾根埃伯哈德-卡尔斯大学则是最活跃的研究机构。神经科学前沿》（Frontiers in Neuroscience）杂志发表的文章最多，而《神经工程学杂志》（Journal of Neural Engineering）的引用率最高。尼尔斯-比尔鲍默（Niels Birbaumer）不仅撰写的文章最多，而且被引用的次数也最多。主要研究领域包括神经学、运动医学和眼科学。BCI技术在中风和脊髓损伤康复中的多种应用以及BCI性能评估是当前的研究热点。此外，深度学习已在BCI技术康复应用中展现出巨大潜力：这项文献计量学研究概述了康复领域 BCI 技术的研究现状和发展趋势，为研究人员制定未来的研究策略提供了有价值的参考点。

期刊介绍： Frontiers in Human Neuroscience is a first-tier electronic journal devoted to understanding the brain mechanisms supporting cognitive and social behavior in humans, and how these mechanisms might be altered in disease states. The last 25 years have seen an explosive growth in both the methods and the theoretical constructs available to study the human brain. Advances in electrophysiological, neuroimaging, neuropsychological, psychophysical, neuropharmacological and computational approaches have provided key insights into the mechanisms of a broad range of human behaviors in both health and disease. Work in human neuroscience ranges from the cognitive domain, including areas such as memory, attention, language and perception to the social domain, with this last subject addressing topics, such as interpersonal interactions, social discourse and emotional regulation. How these processes unfold during development, mature in adulthood and often decline in aging, and how they are altered in a host of developmental, neurological and psychiatric disorders, has become increasingly amenable to human neuroscience research approaches. Work in human neuroscience has influenced many areas of inquiry ranging from social and cognitive psychology to economics, law and public policy. Accordingly, our journal will provide a forum for human research spanning all areas of human cognitive, social, developmental and translational neuroscience using any research approach.
