Background: Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) promote upper limb recovery in stroke patients reinforcing motor related brain activity (from electroencephalogaphy, EEG). Hybrid BCIs which include peripheral signals (electromyography, EMG) as control features could be employed to monitor post-stroke...

Cortico-muscular coupling (CMC) could be used as potential input of a novel hybrid Brain-Computer Interface (hBCI) for motor re-learning after stroke. Here, we aim of addressing the design of a hBCI able to classify different movement tasks taking into account the interplay between the cerebral and...

Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) systems for motor rehabilitation after stroke have proven their efficacy to enhance upper limb motor recovery by reinforcing motor related brain activity. Hybrid BCIs (h-BCIs) exploit both central and peripheral activation and are frequently used in assistive BCIs to...

The Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) allow a person to act on the environment in absence of neuromuscular activity. The rehabilitative BCIs will be the focus of this chapter, with a special reference to the design and validation of non-invasive BCI technology in the field of neurological...

Hybrid Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) for upper limb rehabilitation after stroke should enable the reinforcement of "more normal" brain and muscular activity. Here, we propose the combination of corticomuscular coherence (CMC) and intermuscular coherence (IMC) as control features for a novel...

Sensorimotor rhythms-based Brain–Computer Interfaces (BCIs) have successfully been employed to address upper limb motor rehabilitation after stroke. In this context, becomes crucial the choice of features that would enable an appropriate electroencephalographic (EEG) sensorimotor activation/...

The application of Hybrid Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) for post-stroke hand motor rehabilitation requires the investigation of new electromyographic (EMG) features, potentially able to identify pathological synergies to be discouraged. Inter-muscular coherence (IMC) is gaining attention as a...

Hybrid Brain-Computer Interfaces (hBCIs) for upper limb motor rehabilitation after stroke should pursue the reinforcement of “more normal” brain and muscular activity. We propose cortico-muscular coherence (CMC) as control feature for a novel rehabilitative hBCI. CMC is a measure of synchronization...
