Abstract
Recently, motor imagery brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) have been developed for use in motor function assistance and rehabilitation engineering. In particular, lower-limb motor imagery BCI systems are receiving increasing attention in the field of motor rehabilitation, because these systems could accurately and rapidly identify a patient’s lower-limb movement intention, which could improve the practicability of the motor rehabilitation. In this study, a novel lower-limb BCI system combining visual stimulation, auditory stimulation, functional electrical stimulation, and proprioceptive stimulation was designed to assist patients in lower-limb rehabilitation training. In addition, the Riemannian local linear feature construction (RLLFC) algorithm is proposed to improve the performance of decoding by using unsupervised basis learning and representation weight calculation in the motor imagery BCI system. Three in-house experiment were performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system in comparison with other state-of-the-art methods. The experimental results indicate that the proposed system can learn low-dimensional features and correctly characterize the relationship between the testing trial and its k-nearest neighbors.
