About the
Technology

  • Exploit Neural Correlates of EEG- MI during AO in AtTordance-based actions for neurorehabilitation paradigms.
  • Neural Correlates of EEG- MI during AO in Affordance-based Actions.
  • Affordance driven motor priming during AO-EMI indicates stronger electrophysiological and behavioural changes.

Application Areas & Use Cases

The more vigorous neural activity observed during combined AO + MI suggests that affordance-driven actions hold promise for neurorehabilitation.
