Navigating in Virtual Reality using Thought: The Development and Assessment of a Motor Imagery based Brain-Computer Interface

Understand

Brain-computer interface (BCI) systems have potential as assistive technologies for individuals with severe motor impairments.

• Nevertheless, individuals must first participate in many training sessions to obtain adequate data for optimizing the classification algorithm and subsequently acquiring brain-based control.
• Such traditional training paradigms have been dubbed unengaging and unmotivating for users.
• In recent years, it has been shown that the synergy of virtual reality (VR) and a BCI can lead to increased user engagement.
