Descrição
Resumo:This article aims to synthesize reported evidence over the last decade on studies on the application of neural interface systems in humans with paralysis. A methodology of systematic literature review was used, considering the terms “Neural interface system” and “Paralysis” in both English and Spanish language in three databases (EbscoHost, PubMed and Scielo). 61 articles were found, and fi nally 10 articles met the eligibility criteria and were reviewed. The results indicate that this is a multidisciplinary fi eld with an approach based on the closed-loop paradigm, with a preference for invasive interfaces and aimed at three main areas of application: Neuroprosthetics, operation of computers, and use of unaffected hemisphere in persons with hemiplegia. It is concluded that the scientifi c value of these studies from neurotechnology allows foreseeing this line of research as a promising sub-discipline within the study of neurosciences.
