The aim of the present study was to demonstrate the first time the non-invasive restoration of
hand grasp function in a tetraplegic patient by electroencephalogram (EEG)-recording and
functional electrical stimulation (FES) using surface electrodes. The patient was able to
generate bursts of beta oscillations in the EEG by imagination of foot movement. These beta
bursts were analyzed and classified by a brain-computer interface (BCI) and the output
signal used to control a FES device. The patient was able to grasp a cylinder with the …

The patient was able to grasp a cylinder with the paralyzed hand.
