Detecting the Intention to Move Upper Limbs from Electroencephalographic Brain Signals
Early decoding of motor states directly from the brain activity is essential to develop brain-machine interfaces (BMI) for natural motor control of neuroprosthetic devices. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the detection of movement information before the actual movement occurs. This information piece could be useful to provide early control signals to drive BMI-based rehabilitation and mo...
متن کاملMere Expectation to Move Causes Attenuation of Sensory Signals
When a part of the body moves, the sensation evoked by a probe stimulus to that body part is attenuated. Two mechanisms have been proposed to explain this robust and general effect. First, feedforward motor signals may modulate activity evoked by incoming sensory signals. Second, reafferent sensation from body movements may mask the stimulus. Here we delivered probe stimuli to the right index f...
متن کاملRehabilitation of the Paralyzed Lower Limbs Using Functional Electrical Stimulation: Robust Closed Loop Control
The reliability, the ease of donning and doffing and the robustness of controllers constitute the primary criteria to evaluate any control strategy based on Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES). This technique is used to excite muscles that are under lesions and no more controlled by paraplegic patients. Consequently, the patient could recover partially some of its lower limb functions, impr...
متن کاملRestoring Motor Functions in Paralyzed Limbs through Intraspinal Multielectrode Microstimulation Using Fuzzy Logic Control and Lag Compensator
In this paper, a control strategy is proposed for control of ankle movement on animals using intraspinal microstimulation (ISMS). The proposed method is based on fuzzy logic control. Fuzzy logic control is a methodology of intelligent control that mimics human decision-making process. This type of control method can be very useful for the complex uncertain systems that their mathematical model ...
متن کاملMental Fatigue Assessment using recording Brain Signals: Electroencephalography
Background and Objectives: Mental fatigue is a condition triggered by prolonged cognitive activity. Mental fatigue causes brain over-activity. This is a condition where the brain cells become exhausted, hampering person productivity, and overall cognitive function. The aim of this study was to assess students’ mental fatigue using brain indices. Methods: The present descriptive - analytic stud...
