Classification of brain activity using muscle activation marker for BCI controlled hand prosthesis / Khairunnisa Johar

The use of body-powered prostheses can be tiring and lead to problems with compliance and prosthetic restoration. Apparently, brain-Computer-Interfaces (BCI) offer a means of controlling prostheses for patients that are unable to operate such devices due to physical limitations. An issue with BCIs i...
