Real-time EEG-based brain-computer interface to a virtual avatar enhances cortical involvement in human treadmill walking

Abstract Recent advances in non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies have shown the feasibility of neural decoding for both users’ gait intent and continuous kinematics. However, the dynamics of cortical involvement in human upright walking with a closed-loop BCI has not been investi...
