Brain-computer interface (BCI) is a technology that allows for an alternative method to previous rehabilitation treatments that help improve human cognitive or sensory-motor functions [2]. Due to the crippling and progressive effects of AD, it gives way for the unique utilization of BCI technology to be used for rehabilitation. A standard BCI utilizes electroencephalography (EEG) stimuli to monitor brain activity to obtain relevant information [2]. These traditional BCIs, rely heavily on instrumental learning, and the users themselves, to assist and control their brain activation [3]. The purpose of this paper is to explore alternative BCIs, such as motor-imagery and emotion-based, to explain if these two alternative BCIs can help in improving AD rehabilitation.en-USAttribution-ShareAlike 3.0 United StatesAlzheimer's diseaseDementiaTechnical Report0000-0002-9284-1565
