Abstract

Spinal cord injury (SCI) can disrupt the
communication pathways between the brain and the rest of the
body, restricting the ability to perform volitional movements.
Neuroprostheses or robotic arms can enable individuals with SCI
to move independently, improving their quality of life. The
control of restorative or assistive devices is facilitated by brain-
computer interfaces (BCIs), which convert brain activity into
control commands.
In this paper, we summarize the recent findings of our research
towards the main aim to provide reliable and intuitive control.
We propose a framework that encompasses the detection of goal-
directed movement intention, movement classification and
decoding, error-related potentials detection and delivery of
kinesthetic feedback. Finally, we discuss future directions that
could be promising to translate the proposed framework to inviduals with SCI.
