Effectiveness of brain-computer interface interventions in autism spectrum disorder rehabilitation: a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterised by impairments in social interaction, communication and the presence of repetitive behaviours. Recent advancements in brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies have demonstrated potential benefits in enhancing cognitive, social and communication skills in individuals with ASD. However, the effectiveness of BCI-based interventions in ASD rehabilitation remains inconsistent across studies. Therefore, this protocol outlines a systematic review and meta-analysis to synthesise the evidence on the effectiveness of BCI-based interventions for ASD rehabilitation.

Methods

We will conduct a comprehensive literature search across multiple databases, including MEDLINE Ovid, Embase Ovid, Cochrane
