This paper presents the results of a study involving the use of a Brain-Computer Interface-based Soft Robotic Glove as a novel strategy in stroke rehabilitation. The technology uses the electroencephalogram signals from stroke patients to drive the assistive actions of the soft robotic glove to assist them in physically carrying out activities of daily living. The two-arm study showed prolonged improvements in FMA and ARAT scores although no significant intergroup differences were observed during the study. In addition, all of the patients in the BCI-SRG group also experienced a vivid kinesthetic illusion lasting beyond the active intervention period...

On Error-Related Potentials During Sensorimotor-Based Brain-Computer Interface: Explorations With a Pseudo-Online Brain-Controlled Speller
Brain-computer interface (BCI) spelling is a promising communication solution for people in paralysis. Currently, BCIs suffer from imperfect decoding accuracy which calls for methods to handle spelling mistakes. Detecting error-related potentials (ErrPs) has been early identified as a potential remedy....

Three-Dimensional Brain-Computer Interface Control through Simultaneous Overt Spatial Attentional and Motor Imagery Tasks
Brain-computer interfacing (BCI) is a promising method for providing alternative connections between the brain and the outside world in concert with natural connections or re-establishing natural limb movement in cases where these have been potentially disrupted by disease or injury....

Android Feedback-based Training modulates Sensorimotor Rhythms during Motor Imagery
EEG-based brain computer interface (BCI) systems have demonstrated potential to assist patients with devastating motor paralysis conditions. However, there is great interest in shifting the BCI trend toward applications aimed at healthy users. Although BCI operation depends on technological factors...

Open Access Dataset for EEG+NIRS Single-Trial Classification
Jaeyoung Shin, Alexander von Luhmann, Benjamin Blankertz, Do-Won Kim, Jichai Jeong, Han-Jeong Hwang, Klaus-Robert Müller
We provide an open access dataset for hybrid brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) using electroencephalography (EEG) and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). For this, we conducted two BCI experiments (left vs. right hand motor imagery; mental arithmetic vs. resting state). The dataset was validated...

A Stimulus-Independent Hybrid BCI Based on Motor Imagery and Somatosensory Attentional Orientation
Lin Yao, Xinjun Sheng, Dingguo Zhang, Ning Jiang, Natalie Mrachacz-Kersting, Xiangyang Zhu, Dario Farina
Distinctive EEG signals from the motor and somatosensory cortex are generated during mental tasks of motor imagery (MI) and somatosensory attentional orientation (SAO). In this study, we hypothesize that a combination of these two signal modalities provides improvements in BCI...

EEG Source Imaging Enhances the Decoding of Complex Right Hand Motor Imagery Tasks
Bradley J. Edelman, Bryan Baxter, Bin He, University of Minnesota, USA
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) based on sensorimotor rhythms (SMRs) have achieved successful control of real and virtual devices in up to three dimensions. SMR BCI control signals are founded on the user’s...
