Towards non-invasive BCI-controlled hand and arm function in high spinal cord injury

The talks gives a short intro with a state of the art in BCIs for grasp/ arm movement restoration. The main part will be about the detection of grasp-intention for the restoration of grasping in high spinal cord inured and present basic studies towards mulitdimensional control of the whole arm. The talk will be concluded with some thoughts on future developments.
