Bridging the gap between motor imagery and motor execution with a brain-robot interface

Panel A shows the component coefficients for the visual and the kinesthetic imagery scale (VIS & KIS), for performances in the brain-robotic-interface (BRI), in the tonic contraction task (EMG) and in the task based on visuomotor integration (VMI). The gap between motor imagery (VIS & KIS) and motor execution (EMG, VMI) is bridged by the BRI. Panel B shows the connections with the strongest prediction for motor imagery (blue arrows) and motor execution (red arrows).116
