Abstract
Brain Computer Interface (BCI) controlled Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) has been proposed in literature for rehabilitation of spinal cord injury (SCI) and stroke patients [1, 2]. It is believed that faster rehabilitation can be achieved by combining the activation of the motor pathways through motor imagery (MI) and sensory pathways using FES [3]. Currently, suggested solutions typically rely on costly equipment, limiting their application to a hospital environment. The period of potential rehabilitation for patients is longer than the average time spent at the hospital post-injury; therefore patients would benefit from extended homebased therapy with an inexpensive, user-friendly device. Here we propose a portable BCI system consisting of a wireless multi-channel headset (EPOC, Emotiv, USA) and a tablet (ASUS Win 8.1), combined with multichannel FES (Rehastim, Hasomed, Germany).
