Influences of Actual Motion and Motor Imagery in Motion Intention Extraction Using a Consumer EEG Device

Abstract

Sensorimotor rhythm is commonly used to extract motor imagery from EEG. Although extracting actual motion or motor imagery is verified, it has not been verified to be able to extract motor imagery when the subject moves actually. Therefore, in this research, targeting at the right elbow's bending motion, measuring experiments of EEG are conducted. Tasks in the experiment are actual motion, imaging the same motion, and simultaneous actual motion and imaging.
