Popis: Decoding human hand movement from electroencephalograms (EEG) signals is essential for developing an active human augmentation system. Although existing studies have contributed much to decoding single-hand movement direction from EEG signals, decoding primary hand movement direction under the opposite hand movement condition remains open. In this paper, we investigated the neural signatures of the primary hand movement direction from EEG signals under the opposite hand movement and developed a novel decoding method based on non-linear dynamics parameters of movement-related cortical potentials (MRCPs). Experimental results showed significant differences in MRCPs between hand movement directions under an opposite hand movement. Furthermore, the proposed method performed well with an average binary decoding accuracy of 89.48 ± 5.92% under the condition of the opposite hand movement. This study may lay a foundation for the future development of EEG-based human augmentation systems for upper limbs impaired patients and healthy people and open a new avenue to decode other hand movement parameters (e.g., velocity and position) from EEG signals.
