and continuous motor control to an interfaced device
directly from brain signals. In this section, a few studies
that demonstrate noninvasive BCI systems used to control movement of an interfaced device are listed. It is
interesting to note that, in all these studies, continuous
control is achieved using discrete motor tasks or combinations of motor tasks, using specific control strategies.
The applicability of movement kinematics decoding to
achieve higher-dimensional motor control, as an alternative for this strategy, can thus be investigated.
In [78], robotic arm control to execute a multistep
grasping task was achieved using EEG and was demonstrated both in healthy and poststroke subjects. Discrete
motor tasks (imagine left/right hand open-close, imagine
open-close of both hands, imagine tap foot) were performed, and control commands (move right-left, vertical,
open/close robot hand) were provided for the robot. In [79],
a virtual helicopter control was achieved using EEG. The
(left, right, up, down) controls were provided by imagining
movement of left hand, right hand, both hands up, and rest,
respectively. In [80], an EEG-based asynchronous BCI system was developed that allowed driving a car in a 3-D virtual reality environment. The imagined hand and feet
movements were used to determine the direction of the
steering wheel and car speed. Similarly, in [81] and [82],
continuous 3-D control was achieved using EEG in a virtual helicopter and quadcopter. The SMR-based features
were used in [81] to achieve helicopter control and features
from selected electrodes and frequency bins were used in
[82] to achieve quad copter control.

Limitations and Future Scope
The noninvasive BCI research discussed in this review
demonstrated the potentials of scalp-recorded signals to
provide higher-dimensional motor control. In this regard,
we have provided a comprehensive review of recent studies using noninvasive BCI for classification and decoding
of hand-movement parameters and classification of movement types performed by localized areas of a single limb.
SMR-BCI that aims to obtain precise motor control using
relevant features from spectral, temporal, and spatially
localized neural signals recorded by EEG, fNIRS, and
MEG were reported in these studies. Most studies report
the increase in BCI performance to decode (classify or
reconstruct) movement kinematics when low-frequency
features (<6-7 Hz) are considered [21]-[23], [29], [31], [33],
[35], [37], [44], [48], [50]-[60], [88]. Further, the contribution
of parietal and supplementary motor areas along with primary motor cortex is also reported [23], [27]-[31], [46]-
[48], [56]. These results introduce novel research areas for
BCI research that will look into low-frequency signals and
the regions outside motor area and how these correlate
with the human motor activity.
It will be interesting to look into the temporal variations in connectivity between regions of the brain for different spectral regions and how it correlates to movement
intention, planning, and execution. Research in these
directions can help to better understand the neurophysiology of human locomotion and thus contribute to SMR-BCI
systems. The results indicate the feasibility of such BCI
systems to impart higher degrees of freedom of movement
