Abstract :
Electroencephalography (EEG) is widely used in the field of neural engineering. EEG signals can describe the brain activities while the subjects with para/tetraplegia perform movement with their limbs. This paper reviews the research on the design of experiment, the different frequency bands of EEG signals and the data processing methods of EEG. According to the analysis of the previous studies, it has been concluded that EEG signal of alpha and beta frequency bands is of special significance for analyzing the brain activity of subjects with SCI during movements. And EEG signals also can be used for BCI with application in rehabilitation engineering.
