Abstract	Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) have diverse applications in stroke rehabilitation, extending beyond cognitive functions to include environmental interaction, gait and balance improvement, communication, and cognitive rehabilitation. In the realm of gait and balance, BCIs contribute to enhanced neuroplasticity, neurofeedback training, and improved coordination. They are instrumental in aiding communication for stroke survivors with speech impairments and hold significant potential in cognitive rehabilitation through tailored interventions and neurofeedback. Task-oriented training with BCIs provides customized exercises, real-time feedback, and adaptive approaches for motor skills rehabilitation, fostering engagement and motivation. Integration with Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) and Virtual Reality (VR) amplifies their impact, aiding in mobility, rehabilitation, and immersive therapy. Additionally, BCIs synergize with orthotics, exoskeletons, robotics, and intelligent wheelchairs, acting as a direct neural interface for enhanced control, mobility assistance, and personalized rehabilitation support. Ongoing research aims to refine BCI precision, improve user accessibility, and explore novel applications, emphasizing the transformative potential of BCIs in stroke rehabilitation across various domains. Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) demonstrate promise in stroke rehabilitation by customizing neurorehabilitation exercises, aiding communication, supporting motor recovery, and assisting cognitive rehabilitation. However, challenges such as signal quality, long-term usability, and cost-effectiveness persist.
