NERO: A Hybrid EEG–EMG–Inertial Brain–Computer Interface for Assisted Upper-Limb Neurorehabilitation Universidad Tecnológica de Panamá - (PA), Panamá Disabilities affect 1.3 billion people (16% of the world's population) [1], with upper limb motor limitations being a leading cause of functional dependence and generating high demand for specialized rehabilitation. This article presents the development of NERO, a rehabilitation and assistance platform based on a multimodal brain-computer interface (BCI) that integrates EEG signals, EMG signals, and inertial direction validation using MPU sensors. The system enables intuitive control of an arm-support exoskeleton through directed mental and muscular patterns and sustained head movements. A threshold-based activation attention logic combined with timing is implemented, ensuring safety and personalization. The architecture is complemented by a real-time visualization interface using Apache Superset, connected to a PostgreSQL database hosted in Docker and backed up by a local database. Nero offers an accessible, modular, and replicable solution in the field of therapeutic neurorobotics, democratizing access to low-cost neuromotor rehabilitation technologies and prosthetic control. | |
