“…These devices range in price from low-cost options to more costly ones. While some of these devices cater more towards hobbyists rather than scientific or medical communities, their popularity and acceptable error margins [8] have led to their employment in numerous recent studies. The review of EEG headsets presented in this paper encompasses both the inexpensive and the expensive headsets, with a threshold of 1,000 USD separating them.…”
Motor Imagery-Brain Computer Interface (MI-BCI) is a very important technology gaining momentum throughout the last decade. This technology enables the linkage of brain activities to computer applications and can give disabled patients who suffer from motor disabilities (e.g., partial paralysis, muscle atrophy, etc.) the ability to interact normally with technologies around them. Currently, the technology is mostly limited to applications within dedicated laboratories and is hardly used in practical settings or in real-life applications. The purpose of this study is to review the latest trends and technologies in the field of MI-BCI, including the major challenges and the state-of-the-art classification techniques. The scope of this review article covers the feature selection algorithms that can help identify the most informative and discriminative features from the recorded brain signals, and the classification techniques that can identify the different types of motor movements.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
