P186. Correlates to influence user performance in a hand motor rehabilitation task

The power of oscillatory EEG signal components has been related to attention or mental workload. Thus it may allow to decode and track mental states related to the performance of a user on a specific task. In motor rehabilitation after stroke, knowledge about suitable or impeding brain states may be informative enough to causally influence the training performance. A prerequisite for such real-time manipulation is the ability to decode ongoing EEG signals. Solutions are provided by the field of Brain–Computer Interface (BCI) systems.
