Upper limb exoskeleton for neurorehabilitation with control via brain-computer interface

This paper describes the results of developing control methods for an active exoskeleton for rehabilitation of human upper limb motor activity. The experimental setup, real-time software implementation of the control system, and also the developed software environment for stimulation of the subject during the neurophysiological experiment are described. The research object of the above system is the processes of activation of brain areas in terms of analysis of bioelectrical electroencephalographic signals registered during a motor activity, suitable for use in the tasks of motor rehabilitation. The purpose of this work is to develop a hardware-software part of the experiment to study real-time algorithms for control of the upper limb exoskeleton for rehabilitation and education tasks using ”brain-computer” interfaces.
