Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The main study parameter is the classification rate of our algorithm, i.e. the percentage of movement trials that are correctly classified as movement trials and the percentage of non-movement trials that are correctly classified as non-movement trials. Although the algorithm is programmed in such a way that it can take into account any feature from the EEG that distinguishes between the two classes, we expect the main useful feature to be the combined Event-Related Desynchronization (ERD), a power decrease in the alpha- and beta-frequency bands known to occur during (planning) of movement and Event-Related Synchronization (ERS), a power increase in approximately the same frequencies, known to occur after movement has stopped. These features have been well established in the literature and these findings have been replicated in our own lab.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
As both EEG and EMG will be measured throughout the experiment, insight might be gained into the general influence of Rocuronium on the brain signal, muscle output and the interplay between them.
