Abstract

Brain computer interface actuated functional electrical stimulation (BCI-FES) is an emerging neurorehabilitation approach post-stroke. Most BCI-FES systems focus on the affected hand only. We explored the feasibility of a bimanual BCI-FES system and compared it to a unimanual BCI-FES system. Ten people with subacute stroke and ten age-matched controls participated in two sessions of BCIFES, using unimanual and bimanual movements, respectively. Event related desynchronization (ERD) was derived from movement data. Both groups were able to control the bimanual BCI-FES system with similar activation rates. Both groups showed predominantly contralateral ERD for unimanual movements and bilateral ERD for bimanual movements. A bimanual BCI-FES control offers a larger repertoire of movements and does not supress ERD of the affected side.
