Core Tip	This minireview highlights that brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), primarily studied for post-stroke motor rehabilitation, may also address post-stroke emotional and sleep disorders. Although direct evidence is limited, indirect findings suggest that BCIs may enhance active participation, neuroplasticity, and self-regulation. Combining BCIs with psychological, electrical, or immersive feedback approaches offers new integrative perspectives. BCIs represent an emerging multidimensional rehabilitation platform, not an established standalone treatment, warranting further clinical research.
