Exploring Fatigue Effects on Performance Variation of Intensive Brain–Computer Interface Practice
Motor imagery (MI) is an endogenous mental process and is commonly used as an electroencephalogram (EEG)-based brain–computer interface (BCI) strategy. Previous studies of P300 and MI-based (without online feedback) BCI have shown that mental states like
