A novel strategy for driving car brain–computer interfaces: Discrimination of EEG-based visual-motor imagery

A brain–computer interface (BCI) based on kinesthetic motor imagery has a potential of becoming a groundbreaking technology in a clinical setting. However, few studies focus on a visual-motor imagery (VMI) paradigm driving BCI. The VMI-BCI feature extraction methods are yet to be explored in depth....
