Brain–Computer Interfaces: The New Landscape in Assistive Technology
نویسندگان
چکیده
A brain–computer interface (BCI) provides a direct connection between the brain and an external device, such as a computer or any other system capable of receiving a signal. In June 1999, the First International Meeting on Brain–Computer Interface Technology took place at the Rensselaerville Institute (Albany, NY). The aims of this first meeting, which 50 researchers from 22 different research groups attended, were to review the state of the art of BCI research and to define a shared set of procedures, methods, and definitions. During this meeting, it was established that “a brain–computer interface is a communication system that does not depend on the brain’s normal output pathways of peripheral nerves and muscles” (Wolpaw et al. 2000). In a BCI, neuromuscular activity is not necessary for the production of the activity that is needed to convey the message (Pasqualotto et al. 2011a). CONTENTS

Selecting and Extracting Effective Features of SSVEP-based Brain-Computer Interface
User interfaces are always one of the most important applied and study fields of information technology. The development and expansion of cognitive science studies and functionalization of its tools such as BCI1, as well as popularization of methods such as SSVEP2 to stimulate brain waves, have led to using these techniques every day, especially in appropriate solutions for physically and menta...
متن کاملVerbal Communication through Brain Computer Interfaces
Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI) provide a way of communicating directly from brain activity, bypassing muscular control. We report some recent advances in a BCI communication system called the P300 speller, which is a virtual brain-operated keyboard. This system relies on electroencephalographic activity time-locked to the flashing of the desired letters. It requires calibration of the system, ...

متن کاملCan Brain Computer Interfaces Become Practical Assistive Devices in the Community?
A Brain Computer Interface (BCI) provides direct communication from the brain to a computer or electronic device. In order for BCIs to become practical assistive devices it is necessary to develop robust systems, which can be used outside of the laboratory. This paper appraises the technical challenges, and outlines the design of an intuitive user interface, which can be used for smart device c...
