Abstract

Early detection of intention to move, at self-paced voluntary movements from the activities of neural current sources on the motor cortex, can be an effective approach to brain-computer interface (BCI) systems. Achieving high sensitivity and pre-movement negative latency are important issues for increasing the speed of BCI and other rehabilitation and neurofeedback systems used by disabled and stroke patients and helps enhance their movement abilities. Therefore, developing high-performance extractors or beamformers is a necessary task in this regard. © 2017 IEEE.
