MOTIVATION DRIVEN STROKE REHABILITATION VIA BIO-SIGNAL CONTROL SYSTEM

Restore voluntary motor function by bridging gap in damaged/diseased parts of nervous system. A brain-computer interface senses surface electroencephalogram signals elicited by motor imagery & processes it into semantic signals to control functional electrical stimulation of skeletal muscles.
