Brain oscillations control hand orthosis in a tetraplegic
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate whether self-induced brain potential changes could be useful as control signals for patients with severe motor impairment, i.e. due to high-level spinal cord injury. The pilot project was performed in a tetraplegic patient (T.S.), whose residual muscle activity of the upper limbs is restricted to the left biceps. To restore the hand grasp function, an electrical driven hand orthosis fitting his left hand was developed. The operation of this device is directly based on the bioelectrical signals of the brain. After some months of training, T. S. has learned to operate the hand orthosis by mental imagination of specific motor commands.

“Notwithstanding a few exceptions of longitudinal and translational studies in which thorough neuroimaging evidence is also provided [9,42], the extent and impact of subject learning effects in noninvasive MI BCI training remain rather disputable.”

“Better performance could be due to decoder recalibration [29], re-parameterizations of the BCI, and the application and adoption of better mental strategies [9,64,65], among other factors.”

“Secondly, other training studies claim learnability in BCIs only on the grounds of improved online classification accuracy [9,27,30,31,33,35,51] or application performances [36,37].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
