Abstract
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) translate brain signals into commands for a device. BCIs are a complementary option in therapy during gait rehabilitation. This paper presents a strategy based on electroencephalographic (EEG) bandpower for detecting gait motor imagery (MI) while being standing. In particular, \(\mu \) (8–13 Hz) and 20–35 Hz bands were used. Preliminary results show that two out of three users could achieve an accuracy above 70% of correct classifications. The proposed strategy could be used in a MI-based BCI to enhance brain activity associated to the gait process.
