Abstract

GOAL: Sensorimotor-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have achieved successful control of real and virtual devices in up to three dimensions; however, the traditional sensor-based paradigm limits the intuitive use of these systems. Many control signals for state-of-the-art BCIs involve imagining the movement of body parts that have little to do with the output command, revealing a cognitive disconnection between the user's intent and the action of the end effector. Therefore, there is a need to develop techniques that can identify with high spatial resolution the self-modulated neural activity reflective of the actions of a helpful output device. METHODS: We extend previous EEG source imaging (ESI) work to decoding natural hand/wrist manipulations by applying a novel technique to classifying four complex motor imaginations of the right hand: flexion, extension, supination, and pronation. RESULTS: We report an increase of up to 18.6% for individual task classification and 12.7% for overall classification using the proposed ESI approach over the traditional sensor-based method. CONCLUSION: ESI is able to enhance BCI performance of decoding complex right-hand motor imagery tasks. SIGNIFICANCE: This study may lead to the development of BCI systems with naturalistic and intuitive motor imaginations, thus facilitating broad use of noninvasive BCIs.

  • ESI has yielded large improvements in offline neural decoding compared with traditional sensor techniques.

    “Dramatic improvements in offline neural decoding have been observed when using ESI compared to traditional sensor techniques (24, 27)”
  • For motor imagery, electrophysiological source imaging enhances the capability of decoding subjects' intent relative to directly using sensor space signals.

    “For motor imagery, a paradigm for brain computer interface (BCI) (71, 72), ESI enhances the capability of decoding subjects’ intent, relative to directly using sensor space signals (73, 74).”

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.
