Tactile Stimulation Improves Sensorimotor Rhythm-Based BCI Performance in Stroke Patients

Objective: Brain-computer interface (BCI) decoding accuracy plays a crucial role in practical applications. With accurate feedback, BCI-based therapy determines beneficial neural plasticity in stroke patients. In this study, we aimed at improving sensorimotor rhythm (SMR) based BCI performance by integrating motor tasks with tactile stimulation. Methods: Eleven stroke patients were recruited for three experimental conditions, i.e., motor attempt...
