Principles of neurorehabilitation based on the brain-computer interface and biologically adequate control of the exoskeleton

The neurophysiological prerequisites for the development and operation of the brain-computer interfaces (BCI) that allow cerebral electrical signals alone to control external technical devices are considered. A BCI based on the discrimination of the EEG patterns related to imagery of extremity movements is described. The possibility of the rehabilitation of patients with motor disorders by means of the BCI based on motor imagery and the exoskeleton controlled by it is discussed.
