EEG-Based Control of Reaching To Visual Targets

چکیده
Research on non-invasive brain computer interfaces (BCI) has shown that electroencephalograhy (EEG) on-line signal extraction can be used for communication (spelling), computer game playing and for sensorassisted navigation. In this study we attempt to quantify reaching movement performance using EEG and gaze tracking signals. To achieve this the Berlin Brain Computer Interface has been linked to an eye and head tracker. The task studied was typing at a virtual keyboard, with a data information transfer rate of the resulting BCI of 70 bits/s, demonstrating that noninvasive BCI designs can provide useful means to command robotic devices for Brain Machine Interface (BMI) reaching tasks.

Control of a 2-DoF robotic arm using a P300-based brain-computer interface
In this study, a novel control algorithm, based on a P300-based brain-computer interface (BCI) is fully developed to control a 2-DoF robotic arm. Eight subjects including 5 men and 3 women perform a 2-dimensional target tracking in a simulated environment. Their EEG (Electroencephalography) signals from visual cortex are recorded and P300 components are extracted and evaluated to perform a real...
متن کاملFeature Extraction of Visual Evoked Potentials Using Wavelet Transform and Singular Value Decomposition
Introduction: Brain visual evoked potential (VEP) signals are commonly known to be accompanied by high levels of background noise typically from the spontaneous background brain activity of electroencephalography (EEG) signals. Material and Methods: A model based on dyadic filter bank, discrete wavelet transform (DWT), and singular value decomposition (SVD) was developed to analyze the raw data...
متن کاملFrontal cortical areas of the monkey brain engaged in reaching behavior: a (14)C-deoxyglucose imaging study.
The ((14)C)-deoxyglucose method was employed to study whether different areas of the primate frontal lobe are involved in different aspects of reaching behavior. To this end, we mapped the functional activity of the frontal motor cortical areas in three monkeys performing reaching movements with one forelimb. The first monkey had to capture a peripheral visual target with a saccade and a foreli...
متن کاملReal Time Driver’s Drowsiness Detection by Processing the EEG Signals Stimulated with External Flickering Light
The objective of this study is development of driver’s sleepiness using Visually Evoked Potentials (VEP). VEP computed from EEG signals from the visual cortex. We use the Steady State VEPs (SSVEPs) that are one of the most important EEG signals used in human computer interface systems. SSVEP is a response to visual stimuli presented. We present a classification method to discriminate between...
متن کاملThe proximity of visual landmarks impacts reaching performance.
The control of goal-directed reaching movements is thought to rely upon egocentric visual information derived from the visuomotor networks of the dorsal visual pathway. However, recent research (Krigolson and Heath, 2004) suggests it is also possible to make allocentric comparisons between a visual background and a target object to facilitate reaching accuracy. Here we sought to determine if th...
