O
Graz Motor Visuall Stimulations
Participants were
w
asked too remain as stiill as possiblee during
thhe experiment to lessen the effect of interrference from muscle
siggnals duringg the EEG recording. The Graz Motor
Sttimulation in OpenViBE generated
g
20 right arrows and 20
left arrows preesented in a random ordeer on the coomputer
sccreen as seen in Fig. 1 to act as visuall stimuli. Theey were
diirected to raisse their right arm
a when a right
r
arrow apppeared
annd to do the same with ttheir left arm
m when a leftt arrow
apppeared. Afteer a short brreak, participants were assked to
reespond to auditory (i.e., 20 right and 20 left) stimuli
prresented againn in a randoom order by the computeer. The
paarticipants weere again askeed to raise their right arm during
d
a
right stimulattion and raisse their left arm during a left
f each of thee visual and auditory
a
stiimulation. Daata collection for
poortions lasted approxim
mately eighht minutes with
appproximately 10-seconds between eaach stimulus.. Each
testing session took approxim
mately 35 min
nutes. All recordings
w then savedd in the Europpean Data Filee (.EDF) form
were
mat.

Data sets weere brought iinto and analyyzed in EEG
GLAB a

V. CONCLUSION
Based on the results acquired by completion and analysis of
the neuroscience data, it was determined that the main
electrodes stimulated when paired with a motor task were F3,
FC5, FC6 and F4, as per the 10-20 international system. These
results lead to the development of a successful BMI capable of
controlling both left and right Mecha TE Hands. This BMI
can be adjusted to the users need and preferences. Future
work requires more exploration into the effects of sex and
channel location, as well as work into making the BMI system
more robust and stable.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Adrienne Kline would like to thank Professor Jack Phlipot
for his continuing support and guidance and to Dr. Theresa
Kline for aiding in the statistical analysis.
