Abstract

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) enable its users to interact with their environment only by thought. Earlier studies indicated [1, 2] that BCI might be a suitable method for controlling a neuroprostheses, which could assist people with spinal cord injuries (SCI) in their daily life. One drawback for the end user is that only simple motor imaginations (MI) are available for control e.g. MI of both feet to control ones arm is abstract and in contradiction to an associated natural movement. Therefore we are looking for means to design a more natural control modality. One promising scenario would be to use MI of different grasps to actually control different grasps of the neuroprosthesis. In this study we attempt to classify the execution of different grasp types in low-frequency time-domain EEG signals.
