EEG-based Brain-computer Interface for Automating Home Appliances

An EEG-based brain-computer system for automating home appliances is proposed in this study. Brain-computer interface (BCI) system provides direct pathway between human brain and external computing resources or external devices. The system translates thought into action without using muscles through a number of electrodes attached to the user’s scalp. The BCI technology can be used by disabled ...

Systematic Design Method of Auditory Interface for Home Appliances

There is a growing interest to introduce auditory interface into home appliances to improve their usability. However two issues hinder the penetration of utilizing sound for home appliances. (1) High design cost Information sound design requires both significant expertise and long development time. Information sounds are usually designed by a cut-and-try approach, because no systematic methods ...
