Background:

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) offer potential for controlling neuroprosthetics by detecting movement intentions (MI).
Current non-invasive BCIs have limited capabilities in decoding complex MI qualities, restricting natural neuroprosthetic control.
Advancements are needed to enable BCIs to detect multiple MI qualities for intuitive prosthetic operation.

Purpose of the Study:

To decode movement targets during a self-paced center-out reaching task using non-invasive BCIs.
To identify spatial patterns associated with movement planning in the source space.
To assess the feasibility of decoding complex MI for advanced neuroprosthetic applications.

Main Methods:

Utilized a self-paced center-out reaching task to elicit movement intentions.
Applied source space analysis to calculate spatial patterns related to MI.
Employed classification algorithms to decode movement targets from electroencephalography (EEG) data.

Main Results:

Successfully decoded movement targets with significant classification accuracy in one out of three subjects.
Identified a distinct spatial pattern over the central motor area in the successful participant during the movement planning phase.
Demonstrated preliminary success in decoding specific movement targets from brain activity.

Conclusions:

Decoding specific movement targets from MI is feasible with non-invasive BCIs, albeit with inter-subject variability.
Distinct spatial patterns in the motor cortex correlate with movement planning, offering a potential neural correlate for control.
This preliminary study supports the development of more sophisticated BCIs for natural neuroprosthetic control.
