Non-invasive Brain–Computer Interfaces for Control of Grasp Neuroprosthesis: The European MoreGrasp Initiative

Restoration of grasping has the highest priority for people with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI). This chapter describes the non-invasive brain–computer interface (BCI)-controlled grasp neuroprosthesis developed within the European Horizon 2020 project MoreGrasp. Based on former projects of the collaborators, several innovative technologies were developed within the MoreGrasp project with the aim to achieve an intuitive thought-controlled restoration of hand function in end users with tetraplegia for supporting activities of daily living. The end users in the focus of this project have been people with sufficiently preserved elbow and shoulder movements, but missing hand and finger functions.
