**1. Introduction**

People with neuromuscular disorder suffer from various degrees of physical disabilities that limit them from interacting with the external world. Patients, who have developed stroke for instance resulting in paralysis and speech difficulties, would undergo training in traditional ways offered by physiotherapists, occupational and speech therapists. However, these trainings do require users' active participation to make rehabilitation effective. By performing such trainings, neuroplasticity can be induced through re-establishment of connections between the infarcted regions and other functional areas. As people do find traditional training to be tedious and slow, they are less motivated in engaging such therapy that results in suboptimal outcome. Besides, severely disabled patients who are tetraplegic or in lock-in state may not even benefit from the traditional rehabilitation at all. The invent of brain-computer interface (BCI) has opened up a new dimension of neurorehabilitation in this much needed population. BCI can as well improve neuroplasticity by using the signals from the brain and translating them into actions to control the external environment including robotic arms. Even just by thinking of a movement can exert similar control, a huge milestone for the severely disabled individuals to finally regain some control over their lives.
