Abstract
The combination of rehabilitation technologies and better control systems for the assistive technologies allows us to create brain-machine interfaces for motion control by using exoskeleton devices. In this work, the creation of a protocol and analysis method is developed for human decision-making decoding in tasks related to motor activity. The aims of this research is to be able to develop a real-time interface for the control of a lower-limb exoskeleton in the future. The proposed analysis tries to decode the patterns when subjects have the intention to change their current speed on their own will. 4 subjects performed the experiments obtaining results around 65%.

Event-related EEG/MEG synchronization and desynchronization: Basic principles

TL;DR: In this article, an internally or externally paced event results not only in the generation of an ERP but also in a change in the ongoing EEG/MEG in form of an event-related desynchronization (ERD) or eventrelated synchronization (ERS).
