TLDR
A method of accurate storage and on-line preprocessing of an EEG signal, preceding and following a trigger signal, elicited by button pressing, is described to study changes occurring in the power of the rhythmic activity within the alpha band in central areas, during voluntary, self-paced movement in 10 normal humans.

EEGLAB: an open source toolbox for analysis of single-trial EEG dynamics including independent component analysis.

TL;DR: EELAB as mentioned in this paper is a toolbox and graphic user interface for processing collections of single-trial and/or averaged EEG data of any number of channels, including EEG data, channel and event information importing, data visualization (scrolling, scalp map and dipole model plotting, plus multi-trial ERP-image plots), preprocessing (including artifact rejection, filtering, epoch selection, and averaging), Independent Component Analysis (ICA) and time/frequency decomposition including channel and component cross-coherence supported by bootstrap statistical methods based on data resampling.

Brain-computer interfaces for communication and control.

TL;DR: With adequate recognition and effective engagement of all issues, BCI systems could eventually provide an important new communication and control option for those with motor disabilities and might also give those without disabilities a supplementary control channel or a control channel useful in special circumstances.

Event-related EEG/MEG synchronization and desynchronization: basic principles.

TL;DR: Quantification of ERD/ERS in time and space is demonstrated on data from a number of movement experiments, whereby either the same or different locations on the scalp can display ERD and ERS simultaneously.

Brain-computer interfaces for communication and control

TL;DR: The brain's electrical signals enable people without muscle control to physically interact with the world through the use of their brains' electrical signals.

Optimizing Spatial filters for Robust EEG Single-Trial Analysis

TL;DR: The theoretical background of the common spatial pattern (CSP) algorithm, a popular method in brain-computer interface (BCD research), is elucidated and tricks of the trade for achieving a powerful CSP performance are revealed.

Voluntary finger movement in man: Cerebral potentials and theory

TL;DR: Three different brain potentials preceeding voluntary rapid finger flexion can be recorded from the skull surface by time reversed averaging, one of which is bilateral and widespread (Bereitschaftspotential), the other two are unilateral and restricted to the contralateral motor cortex.

Functional topography of the human mu rhythm

TL;DR: Topographic and functional testing was conducted to determine if the Rolandic mu rhythm could be reliably detected from the human scalp, and to describe its spatiotemporal and functional characteristics in relation to the feline sensorimotor rhythm (SMR).

Graphical display and statistical evaluation of event-related desynchronization (ERD).

TL;DR: A new method which enables quantification of event-related desynchronization (ERD) by measuring changes in the power of rhythmic activity within the alpha band during sensory stimulation and during the interstimulus interval of a CNV paradigm is described.

Lack of bilateral coherence of mu rhythm

TL;DR: An investigation has been carried out in 25 normal subjects on quantitative differences of mu rhythm and alpha rhythm parameters and it is proposed that the latter difference represents a fundamental difference in the origin of alpha and mu rhythms.
