About

Vladimir Bulanov is a researcher at the intersection of neurorehabilitation and human-computer interaction, whose work focuses on restoring motor function and communication for individuals with severe neurological impairments. His primary research areas include brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), virtual reality (VR) rehabilitation, and robotic-assisted therapy for post-stroke recovery. Bulanov’s major contributions lie in developing hybrid systems that combine P300-based BCIs with VR and tactile feedback to enhance neuroplasticity. His most cited work, "Stroke Affected Lower Limbs Rehabilitation Combining Virtual Reality With Tactile Feedback" (2020, 41 citations), introduced a novel method using immersive VR and physical sole stimulation to improve gait in acute stroke patients. He further advanced the field by demonstrating how a P300 BCI with a reduced visual field can decode text from event-related potentials, offering a more accessible communication tool for users with limited gaze control. In his 2021 case series, Bulanov integrated these technologies—P300 BCI, robotics, and VR—into a unified post-stroke rehabilitation protocol, showcasing a promising, multimodal approach to recovery. His innovative fusion of neurotechnology and rehabilitation engineering continues to shape assistive solutions for stroke survivors.
