Table 5. An overview of the major works concerning the mind-based control of humanoid robots.

The abbreviations for the robot walking behaviors are defined as follows: “MI” is a motor imagery model, “ITR” is the information transfer rate, and the P300 models indicated with an asterisk (*) use 5 repetitions per trial.
