Abstract
Rehabilitation of the upper-limb by means of a brain computer interface (BCI) is based on detecting an “intention to act” in the brain and transforming this intention into actual movement by using a motorized orthesis. The visual and proprioceptive feedback that results from the systems’ generated movement following the subjects’ captured intention, is thought to close the sensori-motor loop. Closing the loop is a key feature of BCI-systems that is thought to induce cerebral plasticity and thereby facilitating rehabilitation.
