Abstract:
This chapter presents a review of brain-computer communication based on motor imagery and the dynamics of brain oscillations. The concept of motor imagery as experimental strategy and the two different modes of operation a brain-computer interface can have are explained. An EEG based brain switch that can control a FES-induced hand grasp of a tetraplegic and an approach towards an ECoG based brain switch are presented.
