Detecting the Intention to Move Upper Limbs from Electroencephalographic Brain Signals

Table 1

Description of the state of the art of works reporting decoding of motor information preceding actual movements from electroencephalographic brain signals. ME: motor execution; MI: motor imagery; MRCP: movement related cortical potentials; LDA: linear discriminant analysis.
