average over 3 representative sessions or as reported in publication. If more than one CRR was available (in different publications), the highest published CRR was chosen

***

the highest level of success was chosen for analysis regardless of type of BCI

above chance level performance, but CRR not reported in publication

††

chance level performance in first training session and no further SMR-BCI training was conducted; CRR not reported in publication

†††

unpublished

††††

no P300 detectable and thus, no training with the P300-BCI was conducted

data lost due to trainer error
