Brain-computer interaction with VR avatars

Studies and tools (VR environments, EEG processing pipelines) supporting motor imagery brain-computer interface training using a first-person avatar in VR. These works aim to induce a sense of embodiment (the illusion of body ownership transfer) in VR, based on agentic user actions performed through mental imagery of hand movements.
