A class of brain computer interfaces (BCIs) employs noninvasive recordings of electroencephalography (EEG) signals to enable users with severe speech and motor impairments to interact with their environment and social network. For example,…
This paper reports on a study in which a novel virtual moving sound-based spatial auditory brain-computer interface (BCI) paradigm is developed. Classic auditory BCIs rely on spatially static stimuli, which are often boring and difficult to…
One of the greatest goals of neuroscience in recent decades has been to rehabilitate individuals who no longer have a functional relationship between their mind and their body. Although neuroscience has produced technologies which allow the…
A limitation of brain-computer interface (BCI) spellers is that they require the user to be able to move the eyes to fixate on targets. This poses an issue for users who cannot voluntarily control their eye movements, for instance, people…
We aim at an augmentation of communication abilities of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients by creating a brain-computer interface (BCI) which can control a computer or other device by using only brain activity. As a method, we use…
End-to-end automatic speech recognition directly maps input speech to characters. However, the mapping can be problematic when several different pronunciations should be mapped into one character or when one pronunciation is shared among…
Objective: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare disease, but is also one of the most common motor neuron diseases, and people of all races and ethnic backgrounds are affected. There is currently no cure. Brain computer interfaces…
Brain-computer interface (BCI) spellers can render a new communication channel independent of peripheral nervous system, which are especially valuable for patients with severe motor disabilities. However, current BCI spellers often require…
Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) are systems allowing people to interact with the environment bypassing the natural neuromuscular and hormonal outputs of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). These interfaces record a user's brain activity…
Brain-computer interface (BCI) is the technology that enables the communication between humans and devices by reflecting status and intentions of humans. When conducting imagined speech, the users imagine the pronunciation as if actually…
Current treatments for paraplegia induced by spinal cord injury (SCI) are often limited by the severity of the injury. The accompanying loss of sensory and motor functions often results in reliance on wheelchairs, which in turn causes…
We study the extent to which vibrotactile stimuli delivered to the head of a subject can serve as a platform for a brain computer interface (BCI) paradigm. Six head positions are used to evoke combined somatosensory and auditory (via the…
This paper aims to develop brain-computer interface system based on electroencephalography that can aid disabled people in daily life. The system relies on one of the most effective event-related potential wave, P300, which can be elicited…
The viability of an Augmentative and Alternative Communication device often depends on its ability to adapt to an individual user's unique abilities. Though human input can be noisy, there is often structure to our errors. For example,…
The paper presents our recent results obtained with a new auditory spatial localization based BCI paradigm in which the ERP shape differences at early latencies are employed to enhance the traditional P300 responses in an oddball…
The decoding of brain signals recorded via, e.g., an electroencephalogram, using machine learning is key to brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). Stimulation parameters or other experimental settings of the BCI protocol typically are chosen…
Objective: Spinal cord injury (SCI) often leaves affected individuals unable to ambulate. Electroencephalogramme (EEG) based brain-computer interface (BCI) controlled lower extremity prostheses may restore intuitive and able-body-like…
An Event-Related Potential (ERP)-based Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) Speller System assists people with disabilities to communicate by decoding electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. A P300-ERP embedded in EEG signals arises in response to a…
Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) can leave the affected individuals unable to ambulate. Since there are no restorative treatments for SCI, novel approaches such as brain-controlled prostheses have been sought. Our recent studies show…
We propose a method for an improvement of auditory BCI (aBCI) paradigm based on a combination of ASSR stimuli optimization by choosing the subjects' best responses to AM-, flutter-, AM/FM and click-envelope modulated sounds. As the ASSR…
