%0 Journal Article %T Comparison of the Event-Related Desynchronization during Self-Paced Movement and when playing a Nintendo Wii Game %A Nikola £¿obaji£¿ %A Andrej Savi£¿ %J Telfor Journal %D 2011 %I Telecommunications Society, Academic Mind %X We compared pre-movement event-related desynchronization (ERD) of ¦Ì rhythm over the primary motor cortex using surface electrodes in a group of five healthy subjects during self-paced wrist movement and the wrist movement when playing a Nintendo Wii. We present a method that uses ERD to detect the onset of movement in single-trial electroencephalographic (EEG) data. This algorithm produced a mean detection accuracy of 83% for the self-paced movement and 75% for the Wii-included sessions, without requiring subject training. This technique can be employed in an EEG-based brain¨Ccomputer interface due to its high recognition rate and simplicity in computation. %K Brain-computer interface %K Event-related desynchronization (ERD) %K Electroencephalogram (EEG) %K Nintendo Wii %U http://journal.telfor.rs/Published/Vol3No1/Vol3No1_A14.pdf
