In recent years, new research has brought the field of EEG-based Brain-Computer Interfacing (BCI) out its infancy and into a phase relative maturity through many demonstrated prototypes such as brain-controlled wheelchairs, keyboards, computer games. With this proof-of-concept in past, time is now ripe to focus on development practical BCI technologies that can be lab real-world applications. particular, we prospect improving lives countless disabled individuals combination technology with...
People with severe motor disabilities can maintain an acceptable quality of life if they communicate. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), which do not depend on muscle control, provide communication. Four people severely disabled by ALS learned to operate a BCI EEG rhythms recorded over sensorimotor cortex. These results suggest that rhythm–based could help for ALS.
The thought translation device trains locked-in patients to self regulate slow cortical potentials (SCP's) of their electroencephalogram (EEG). After operant learning SCP control, select letters, words or pictograms in a computerized language support program. Results five respirated, locked-in-patients are described, demonstrating the usefulness as an alternative communication channel motivated totally paralyzed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
This paper describes a new noninvasive brain-actuated wheelchair that relies on P300 neurophysiological protocol and automated navigation. When in operation, the user faces screen displaying real-time virtual reconstruction of scenario concentrates location space to reach. A visual stimulation process elicits neurological phenomenon, electroencephalogram (EEG) signal processing detects target location. is transferred autonomous navigation system drives desired while avoiding collisions with...
The article reviews the current knowledge regarding altered states of consciousness (ASC) (a) occurring spontaneously, (b) evoked by physical and physiological stimulation, (c) induced psychological means, (d) caused diseases. emphasis is laid on neurobiological approaches. phenomenological analysis multiple ASC resulted in 4 dimensions which they can be characterized: activation, awareness span, self-awareness, sensory dynamics. neurophysiological approach revealed that different are mainly...
A brain-computer interface (BCI) enables communication without movement based on brain signals measured with electroencephalography (EEG). BCIs usually rely one of three types signals: the P300 and other components event-related potential (ERP), steady state visual evoked (SSVEP), or event related desynchronization (ERD). Although were introduced over twenty years ago, past few have seen a strong increase in BCI research. This closed-loop approach relies ERP, an oddball paradigm presented to...
This study was designed to develop and test an auditory event-related potential (ERP) based spelling system for a brain-computer interface (BCI) compare user's performance between the visual modality. The system, where letters in matrix were coded with acoustically presented numbers, tested on group of healthy volunteers. results compared system. Nine 13 participants ERP scored above predefined criterion level control communication. Compared users' lower peak latencies auditorily evoked ERPs...
Using brain–computer interfaces (BCI) humans can select letters or other targets on a computer screen without any muscular involvement. An intensively investigated kind of BCI is based the recording visual event‐related brain potentials (ERP). However, some severely paralyzed patients who need for communication have impaired vision lack control gaze movement, thus making depending input no longer feasible. In an effort to render ERP–BCI usable this group patients, was adapted auditory...
Abstract Neurofeedback has begun to attract the attention and scrutiny of scientific medical mainstream. Here, neurofeedback researchers present a consensus-derived checklist that aims improve reporting experimental design standards in field.
Currently, the event-related potential (ERP)-based spelling device, often referred to as P300-Speller, is most commonly used brain–computer interface (BCI) for enhancing communication of patients with impaired speech or motor function. Among numerous improvements, a central feature has received little attention, namely optimizing stimulus eliciting ERPs. Therefore we compared P300-Speller performance standard (flashing characters) against stimuli known particularly strong ERPs due their...
Zusammenfassung. Impulsivität ist ein Persönlichkeitsmerkmal, das mit schnellen, unüberlegten Handlungen ohne Beachtung möglicher negativer Konsequenzen einhergeht. Eines der am weitesten verbreiteten Verfahren zur Erfassung von die Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11; Patton, Stanford & Barratt, 1995 ). Es wurde gezeigt, dass drei Faktoren nicht-planende, motorische und aufmerksamkeitsbasierte auch ausreichend gut einer verkürzten Form BIS-11 erfasst werden können (BIS-15; Spinella,...
The brain-computer interface (BCI) field has grown dramatically over the past few years, but there are still no coordinated efforts to ensure efficient communication and collaboration among key stakeholders. European Commission (EC) recently renewed their establish such a coordination effort by funding support action for BCI community called ‘BNCI Horizon 2020’ after ‘Future BNCI’ project. Major goals of this new project include developing roadmap next decade beyond, encouraging discussion...
Albeit research on brain-computer interfaces (BCI) for controlling applications has expanded tremendously, we still face a translational gap when bringing BCI to end-users. To bridge this gap, adapted the user-centered design (UCD) and development which implies shift from focusing single aspects, such as accuracy information transfer rate (ITR), more holistic user experience. The UCD implements an iterative process between end-users developers based valid evaluation procedure. Within...
