Movement Anticipation and EEG: Implications for BCI-Contingent Robot Therapy
Sumner L. Norman, Mark Dennison, Eric Wolbrecht, Steven C. Cramer, Ramesh Srinivasan, David J. Reinkensmeyer
Brain-computer interfacing is a technology that has the potential to improve patient engagement in robot-assisted rehabilitation therapy. For example, movement intention reduces mu (8-13 Hz) oscillation amplitude over the sensorimotor cortex, a phenomenon referred to as event-related desynchronization (ERD). In...
