The mandatory upper frequency limit for radiated immunity testing on modules is increasing to 2.7GHz and for some dedicated product standards even up to 3GHz. This paper proposes a realistic limit level for using the Bulk Current Injection method as an alternative to radiated immunity tests up to 1GHz and above.

Current rehabilitation therapies for stroke rely on Physical Practice (PP) by the patients. Motor Imagery (MI), the imagination of movements without physical action, presents an alternate neuro-rehabilitation for stroke patients without relying on residue movements. However, MI is an endogenous mental process that is not physically observable. Recently, advances in Brain-Computer Interface (BCI...

OBJECTIVE Brain computer interface (BCI) is one of the most promising technologies for helping people with neurological disorders. Most current BCI systems are relatively expensive and difficult to set up. Therefore, we developed a P300-based BCI system with a cheap bioamplifier and open source software. The purpose of this study was to describe the setup process of the system and preliminary e...

The notion of soft BCI-implicative ideals and BCI-implicative idealistic soft BCI-algebras is introduced and their basic properties are discussed. Relations between soft ideals and soft BCI-implicative ideals of soft BCI-algebras are provided. Also idealistic soft BCI-algebras and BCI-implicative idealistic soft BCI-algebras are being related. The intersection, union, “AND” operation and “OR” o...

This paper describes a case study with a patient in the classic locked-in state, who currently has no means of independent communication. Following a user-centered approach, we investigated event-related potentials (ERP) elicited in different modalities for use in brain-computer interface (BCI) systems. Such systems could provide her with an alternative communication channel. To investigate the...

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) provide a mechanism for establishing a direct channel of communication between a user’s brain and a computerized device. BCI are rapidly gaining acceptance as a form of assistive technology and may be used by people with motor impairments to communicate and use tools such as phones, computers, wheelchairs and prosthetics. Eventually, BCI might also become a commo...

This paper summarizes the Brain-Computer Interfaces for Communication and Control, The Second International Meeting, held in Rensselaerville, NY, in June 2002. Sponsored by the National Institutes of Health and organized by the Wadsworth Center of the New York State Department of Health, the meeting addressed current work and future plans in brain-computer interface (BCI) research. Ninety-two r...

OBJECTIVE The P300 speller is a brain-computer interface (BCI) that can possibly restore communication abilities to individuals with severe neuromuscular disabilities, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), by exploiting elicited brain signals in electroencephalography (EEG) data. However, accurate spelling with BCIs is slow due to the need to average data over multiple trials to increase...

A large body of evidence from animal studies indicates that motor intention can be decoded via multiple single-unit recordings or from local field potentials (LFPs) recorded not only in primary motor cortex, but also in premotor or parietal areas. In humans, reports of invasive data acquisition for the purpose of BCI developments are less numerous and signal selection for optimal control still ...

This paper summarizes the presentations and discussions at a workshop held during the Fourth International BCI Meeting charged with reviewing and evaluating the current state, limitations and future development of P300-based brain-computer interface (P300-BCI) systems. We reviewed such issues as potential users, recording methods, stimulus presentation paradigms, feature extraction and classifi...
