目的：脑机接口（bci）有潜力改善需要但无法使用传统辅助和替代通信（AAC）设备的人的沟通。随着脑机接口走向临床实践，语言病理学家（slp）将需要考虑他们是否适合AAC干预。方法：本教程提供脑机接口方法的背景知识，为AAC专家提供脑机接口临床应用所必需的基础知识。教程描述是基于对脑机接口用于恢复通信的文献综述而生成的。结果：教程回复直接针对专门从事AAC的SLP感兴趣的4个主要领域：(a) BCI的现状，重点是SLP的实践范围（包括子领域：个体使用BCI访问AAC的方式，BCI对AAC的功效，以及疲劳的影响），(b) BCI最适合的人群，(c) BCI作为AAC访问策略的补充的未来，以及(d) BCI的局限性。结论：目前的脑机接口已被设计为AAC的接入方法，而不是替代品；因此，slp可以利用AAC的现有知识作为临床应用的起点。建议进行额外的培训，以跟上脑机接口的快速发展。
Purpose: Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have the potential to improve communication for people who require but are unable to use traditional augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices. As BCIs move toward clinical practice, speech-language pathologists (SLPs) will need to consider their appropriateness for AAC intervention.Method: This tutorial provides a background on BCI approaches to provide AAC specialists foundational knowledge necessary for clinical application of BCI. Tutorial descriptions were generated based on a literature review of BCIs for restoring communication.Results: The tutorial responses directly address 4 major areas of interest for SLPs who specialize in AAC: (a) the current state of BCI with emphasis on SLP scope of practice (including the subareas: the way in which individuals access AAC with BCI, the efficacy of BCI for AAC, and the effects of fatigue), (b) populations for whom BCI is best suited, (c) the future of BCI as an addition to AAC access strategies, and (d) limitations of BCI.Conclusion: Current BCIs have been designed as access methods for AAC rather than a replacement; therefore, SLPs can use existing knowledge in AAC as a starting point for clinical application. Additional training is recommended to stay updated with rapid advances in BCI.
