Classification of hand movements in motor execution and motor imagery tasks from EEG signals recorded with a low-cost recording system

Abstract

This work studies the classification between rest and movement during motor execution and motor imagery of the left and/or right hand clenching from brain elec- troencephalography (EEG) signals recorded with a low-cost commercially available EEG recording system. Eleven healthy subjects participated in the study. EEG signals were recorded while the participants executed and imagined left and/or right clenching movements. The results showed the possibility to recognize between resting and movement.
