A multi-modal monitoring system is provided for monitoring activity of an individual. The monitoring system is configured as a computer system comprising data input, memory and a data processor. The data processor is configured and operable to receive and analyze first and second measured data concurrently collected from the individual and corresponding to, respectively, detected brain signals indicative of movement planning by the individual, and detected motion signals indicative of actual movement recognition by at least one body portion of the individual. The data analysis includes applying a multi-modal processing to the first and second measured data to decode the brain and body signals, and upon identifying that the decoded brain and body signals satisfy a condition of common decoded motor commands, generate a control signal indicative of the individual's intended physical action, which can be used for controlling operation of an execution device or assistance device(s), or for providing biofeedback.
