Background:

Physiological circuits vary with isometric force levels during unilateral contractions.
Accurate prediction of intended force is crucial for advanced brain-computer interfaces (BCIs).
Imagining motor tasks can generate distinct electroencephalogram (EEG) patterns.

Purpose of the Study:

To predict intended isometric force levels (5% vs. 40% MVC) from single-trial EEG during unilateral right-hand grip imagination.
To evaluate the efficacy of a novel BCI system for online control of a ball game using imagined grip force levels.

Main Methods:

Utilized electroencephalogram (EEG) data from nine healthy subjects performing unilateral right-hand grip imagination at 5% and 40% maximal voluntary contraction (MVC).
Extracted features using Common Spatial Patterns (CSPs) and signal coherence.
Employed a support vector machine (SVM) classifier for force level prediction and assessed online game control accuracy.

Main Results:

Force levels were predicted from single-trial EEGs with a mean accuracy of 81.4% ± 13.29%.
The BCI system enabled effective online control of a ball game, achieving a mean accuracy of 76.67% ± 9.35% for directional control.
Data analysis confirmed the system's validity for real-time application.

Conclusions:

Single-trial EEG during imagined grip tasks can reliably predict intended force levels.
The developed BCI system demonstrates potential for intuitive online control applications, such as gaming.
This technology offers a foundation for integrating nuanced user commands into robotic control systems.
