Nonmanual human-machine interfaces (HMIs) have been studied for wheelchair control with the aim of helping severely paralyzed individuals regain some mobility. The challenge is to rapidly, accurately, and sufficiently produce commands, such as left right turns, forward backward motions, acceleration, deceleration, stopping. In this paper, a novel electrooculogram (EOG) based HMI proposed control.A total 13 flashing buttons, each which corresponds command, are presented in graphical user...
Most existing brain-computer Interfaces (BCIs) are designed to control a single assistive device, such as wheelchair, robotic arm or prosthetic limb. However, many daily tasks require combined functions which can only be realized by integrating multiple devices. Such integration raises the requirement of accuracy and is more challenging achieve reliable compared with device case. In this study, we propose novel hybrid BCI high based on electroencephalogram (EEG) electrooculogram (EOG) an...
The limitations of traditional manual human–machine interactive instruments (HMIs) prevent individuals with severe motor disabilities from effectively controlling wheelchair robotic arm systems, thereby impacting their independence and quality life.

Methods: The proposed HMI allows users to interact a environment through eye blinking. Specifically, several buttons, each corresponding command, randomly flash on graphical user interface. Each buttons functions as visual cue blink. To issue can blink...
This paper presents a new asynchronous hybrid brain-computer interface (BCI) system that integrates speller, web browser, an e-mail client, and file explorer using electroencephalographic (EEG) electrooculography (EOG) signals. More specifically, EOG-based button selection method, which requires the user to blink his/her eyes synchronously with target button's flashes during selection, is first presented. Next, we propose mouse control method by combining EEG EOG signals, in left-/right-hand...
Differences in GABAergic function are critical to autistic visual sensory neurobiology and can be modulated by targeting GABA B .
Objective: A brain-computer interface (BCI) can be used to translate neuronal activity into commands control external devices. However, using noninvasive BCI a robotic arm for movements in three-dimensional (3D) environments and accomplish complicated daily tasks, such as grasping drinking, remains challenge. Approach: In this study, shared system based on hybrid asynchronous computer vision was presented. The model, which combines steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs) blink-related...
In this study, we combine a wheelchair and an intelligent robotic arm based on electrooculogram (EOG) signal to help patients with spinal cord injuries (SCIs) accomplish self-drinking task. The main challenge is accurately control the ensure that randomly located object within limited reachable space of (length: 0.8 m; width: 0.4 height: 0.6 m), which requires decimeter-level precision, still undemonstrated for EOG-based systems as well EEG-based systems.A novel high-precision human machine...
Alterations in γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) have been implicated sensory differences individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Visual signals are initially processed the retina, and this study, we explored hypotheses that GABA-dependent retinal response to light is altered ASD. Light-adapted electroretinograms were recorded from 61 adults (38 males 23 females;
Seasickness is a prevalent issue that adversely impacts both passenger experiences and the operational efficiency of maritime crews. While techniques redirect attention have proven effective in alleviating motion sickness symptoms terrestrial environments, applying similar strategies to manage seasickness poses unique challenges due prolonged intense environment associated with travel. In this study, we propose mindfulness brain-computer interface (BCI), specifically designed aim mitigating...
In clinical practice, the symptoms of tinnitus patients can be temporarily alleviated by diverting their attention away from disturbing sounds. However, precise mechanisms through which this alleviation occurs are still not well understood. Here, we aimed to directly evaluate role in conducting distraction tasks with multilevel loads and resting-state tests among 52 adults healthy controls. We demonstrated that abnormal neural oscillations subjects, reflected an altered gamma/alpha ratio...
An increasing number of people fail to properly regulate their emotions for various reasons. Although brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have shown potential in neural regulation, few effective BCI systems been developed assist users emotion regulation. In this paper, we propose an electroencephalography (EEG)-based regulation with virtual reality (VR) neurofeedback. Specifically, music clips positive, neutral, or negative were first presented, based on which the participants asked emotions....
