Is has been shown that motor kinesthetic imagery in contrast to motor visual imagery serves better to control brain-computer interfaces which relay on ERD/ERS patterns. However many people still have problems with producing an adequate brain activity pattern and some of them are not familiar with kinesthetic motor imagery concept. The possible way to overcome this problem is by training of motor skills. Subject’s concentration on kinesthetic feelings may help in acquiring a better control of ERD/ERS patterns. To address this issue we replicated the experimental procedure for hand motor imagery task proposed by Hwang et al. (2009) but with modified training protocol. In the original study the neurofeedback-based training was used. We propose a physical hand training during which concentration on kinesthetic feelings is emphasized. The purpose of the experiment was to determine whether after a physical training focused on a kinesthetic experience of hand movement a significant differences in ERD/ERS patterns can be found. Ten healthy, right-handed males performed hand movement imagery task. The EEG data was recorded twice, once before and once after the physical training of hand movements focused on kinesthetic experience.
