A brain-computer interface (BCI) provides a direct functional interaction between the human brain and the external device. Many kinds of signals (from electromagnetic to metabolic [23, 38, 42]) could be used in BCI. However the most widespread BCI systems are based on EEG recordings. BCI consists of a brain signal acquisition system, data processing software for feature extraction and pattern c...

Brain–computer interface (BCI) aim at providing a non-muscular channel for sending commands to the external world using the electroencephalographic activity or other Electrophysiological measures of the brain function. An essential factor in the successful operation of BCI systems is the methods used to process the brain signals. In the BCI Literature, comprehensive survey of the signal process...

A brain computer interface (BCI) is a communication system converting neural activities into signals that can control computer cursors or external devices (Fetz, 2007). BCI was initially and mainly employed for patients with severe motor disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) by providing non-muscular bidirectional communication and control. How‐ ever, the application of BCI has ...

The visual P300 brain-computer interface (BCI), a popular system for electroencephalography (EEG)-based BCI, uses the P300 event-related potential to select an icon arranged in a flicker matrix. In earlier studies, we used green/blue (GB) luminance and chromatic changes in the P300-BCI system and reported that this luminance and chromatic flicker matrix was associated with better performance an...

The Fifth International Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) Meeting met June 3-7th, 2013 at the Asilomar Conference Grounds, Pacific Grove, California. The conference included 19 workshops covering topics in brain-computer interface and brain-machine interface research. Topics included translation of BCIs into clinical use, standardization and certification, types of brain activity to use for BCI, r...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the support of attentional and memory processes in controlling a P300-based brain-computer interface (BCI) in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Eight people with ALS performed two behavioral tasks: (i) a rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) task, screening the temporal filtering capacity and the speed of the update of the attentive ...

Recently, a new modality of the human-computer interface has been more and more emerging; The Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). The BCI is a communication channel, which enables us to send commands to external devices by using human brain activities (Wolpaw et al., 2002). As one of the remarkable achievements, we can see the report on invasive Brain-Machine Interface (BMI) (Hochberg et al., 2006)...

This paper discusses the potential of brain-computer interfaces (BCI) in the interaction between users and objects in points of interest in a city. We present an initial design of the user experience with BCI, aimed to include users with disabilities but also to enhance the experience of the general public. This design includes a physical space to be conditioned specifically for BCI so users ca...

Unsupervised manifold learning for dimensionality reduction has drawn much attention in recent years. This paper applies two manifold learning methods for the first time to feature dimensionality reduction in brain-computer interface (BCI) design, and compares them with principal component analysis (PCA) and supervised PCA that is mathematically equivalent to the common spatial patterns (CSP) m...

Brain Computer Interface (BCI) is often directed at mapping, assisting, or repairing human cognitive or sensory-motor functions. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a non-invasive method of acquisition brain electrical activities. Noises are impure the EEG recorded signal due to the physiologic and extra-physiologic artifacts. There are several techniques are intended to manipulate the EEG recorded s...
