Enhanced performance by a hybrid NIRS-EEG brain computer interface

► We use multi-modal imaging (whole-head NIRS and EEG) for sensory motor rhythm based BCI. ► By the use of meta-classifiers we enhance performance by 5% on average. ► Some subjects, previously not able to operate a BCI, now become able to do so. ► NIRS and EEG have different information content and complement each other.
