The invention discloses
a normal form for a practical small-channel dry
electrode brain-computer interface (BCI) and a decoding method of the normal form for the practical small-channel dry
electrode BCI. According to the method, multiple excitation forms are introduced, so that the paradigm can induce
coupling of electroencephalogram signals in multiple brain regions; according to the method, a Motor Preparation (MP) normal form is designed, instructions in a video are sent out in four
modes of voice and character, pure voice, pure character and arrow, a subject focuses on the voice and character instructions broadcasted in the video, and various actions such as leftward and rightward natural turning and forward left foot and right foot moving are executed according to the instructions. The MP normal form can be used as a basis for designing a closed-loop BCI
system, and external equipment such as an
exoskeleton and a
wheelchair can be controlled by decoding a motion preparation
signal of a subject. The MP normal form and the corresponding decoding method can effectively assist the
rehabilitation process of a
dyskinesia patient or enhance the athletic ability of a healthy subject. The method has the characteristics of noninvasiveness, convenience, low cost and
low delay, and is expected to be popularized to practical application and clinical
rehabilitation scenes.
