Usually, for training a classifier, electroencephalogram (EEG) data of MI without feedback is used, but it would be advantageous if we could give feedback right from t...

To assess the similarity between cortical activities observed during actual and imaginary motor tasks, we evaluated electroencephalography-electromyography (EEG-EMG) coherence during motor task execution (ME) and the same taskrelated EEG power increase (TRPI) during kinesthetic motor imagery (MI).
