Comparison of Feature Vector Compositions to Enhance the Performance of NIRS-BCI-Triggered Robotic Hand Orthosis for Post-Stroke Motor Recovery

Recently, brain–computer interfaces, combined with feedback systems and goal-oriented training, have been investigated for their capacity to promote functional recovery after stroke. Accordingly, we developed a brain–computer interface-triggered robotic hand orthosis that assists hand-closing and hand-opening for post-stroke patients without sufficient motor output. In this system, near-infrared spectroscopy is used to monitor the affected motor...
