Ultimately, this work aims to advance the innovative development of next-generation wearable MI-BCI systems characterized by high real-time responsiveness and superior performance.
📝 Abstract
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have emerged as transformative technologies that enable direct communication between the brain and external devices. Among various BCI paradigms, EEG-based motor imagery (MI) has gained prominence due to its simplicity, non-invasiveness, and potential to restore motor function and facilitate rehabilitation for patients with motor impairments. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the most practical processing algorithms developed over the past decade for decoding brain sensorimotor cortex signals. Specifically, this paper discusses the integration of artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithms, particularly machine learning and deep learning techniques, and their contributions to improving the performance and efficiency of MI-BCI systems in detail. Furthermore, the paper reviews state-of-the-art hardware platforms and emerging converging technologies, including system-on-chip (SoC) architectures, application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), wearable devices, the Internet of Things (IoT), and augmented/virtual reality (AR/VR), and discusses their integration with advanced signal processing algorithms to enable next-generation MI-BCI systems. By highlighting current achievements of EEG-based MI-BCI technology and predicting future research directions that could further enhance real-time capabilities, this paper aims to provide valuable insights for researchers and practitioners, fostering innovation in high-performance EEG-based MI-BCI systems.
