Abstract:

Aim: Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) hold promise to provide people with partial or complete paralysis, the ability to control assistive technology. This study reports offline classification of imagined and executed movements of the upper and lower limb in one participant with multiple sclerosis and people with no limb function deficits. Methods: We collected neural signals using electroencephalography (EEG) while participants performed executed and imagined motor tasks as directed by prompts shown on a screen. Results: Participants with no limb function attained >70% decoding accuracy on their best-imagined task compared to rest and on at-least one task comparison. The participant with multiple sclerosis also achieved accuracies within the range of participants with no limb function loss.Clinical Relevance — While only one case study is provided it was promising that the participant with MS was able to achieve comparable classification to that of the seven healthy controls. Further studies are needed to assess whether people suffering from MS may be able to use a BCI to improve their quality of life.
