Abstract

We present a study based on time-frequency analysis to identify the correlation between synchronized EEG and EMG signals during gait for the detection of premotor brain activity, focusing on Bereitschaftspotential and mu-rhythm detection – directly related to voluntary movements. We demonstrate this correlation in the bands of interest (2-5 Hz and 7.5-12.5 Hz) based on a large dataset of signals coming from nine subjects. This experiment identifies whether a movement is voluntary even before the movement is initiated. Starting from these results, the study and design a non-invasive, wireless system for the synchronous acquisition of EEG and EMG signals, is outlined. The overall system is suitable for health and life-care applications in ambient assisted living such as gait monitoring and fall prevention in neurodegenerative diseases.
