Abstract

INTRODUCTION: A brain-computer interface (BCI) is a system that detects consistent spatiotemporal patterns in human brain activity that are related to select mental tasks, such as performing motor imagery, or cognitive workload (Bashashati, Ward, Birch, & Bashashati, 2015; Wolpaw, Birbaumer, McFarland, Pfurtscheller, & Vaughan, 2002). One of the main goal of an active BCI is to provide a new channel of output for the brain that requires voluntary adaptive control by the user, mainly used as a neurorehabilitation tool to improve motor or cognitive performance for people with motor disorders, such as spinal cord injury, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or people in the persistent locked-in state (LIS) (Coyle, Ward, Markham, & McDarby, 2004; Naseer & Hong, 2015; Vallabhaneni, Wang, & He, 2005).
