Abstract
Brain-machine interface (BMI) is a device that translates neuronal information into commands capable of controlling external software or hardware such as a computer or robotic arm. It is an emerging technology that facilitates communication between brain and computer and has attracted a great deal of research in recent years [2]. BMIs are often used as assisted living devices for individuals with motor or sensory impairments [1],hence improving the quality of their lives.
