BCI-Based Navigation in Virtual and Real Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
A Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is a system that enables people to control an external device with their brain activity, without the need of any muscular activity. Researchers in the BCI field aim to develop applications to improve the quality of life of severely disabled patients, for whom a BCI can be a useful channel for interaction with their environment. Some of these systems are intended to control a mobile device (e. g. a wheelchair). Virtual Reality is a powerful tool that can provide the subjects with an opportunity to train and to test different applications in a safe environment. This technical review will focus on systems aimed at navigation, both in virtual and real environments.

A Study of Various Feature Extraction Methods on a Motor Imagery Based Brain Computer Interface System
Introduction: Brain Computer Interface (BCI) systems based on Movement Imagination (MI) are widely used in recent decades. Separate feature extraction methods are employed in the MI data sets and classified in Virtual Reality (VR) environments for real-time applications. Methods: This study applied wide variety of features on the recorded data using Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) classifie...
متن کاملNavigation of a Mobile Robot Using Virtual Potential Field and Artificial Neural Network
Mobile robot navigation is one of the basic problems in robotics. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for autonomous mobile robot navigation in an unknown environment. The proposed approach is based on learning virtual parallel paths that propel the mobile robot toward the track using a multi-layer, feed-forward neural network. For training, a human operator navigates the mobile robot in ...
متن کاملAudio-cued motor imagery-based brain-computer interface: Navigation through virtual and real environments
The aim of this work is to provide a navigation paradigm that could be used to control a wheelchair through a brain–computer interface (BCI). In such a case, it is desirable to control the system without a graphical interface so that it will be useful for people without gaze control. Thus, an audio-cued paradigm with several navigation commands is proposed. In order to reduce the probability of...
متن کاملNavigation in Virtual Environments through Motor Imagery
In this paper we report on the navigation in a virtual environment by the output signal of an EEG-based Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). Such a BCI transforms bioelectrical brain signals, modified by mental activity into a control signal. At this time only 1-D or 2-D BCI feedbacks are used. The graphical possibilities of virtual reality (VR) should help to improve BCI-feedback presentations and ...
متن کاملNavigating in Virtual Worlds Using a Self-Paced SSVEP-Based Brain-Computer Interface with Integrated Stimulation and Real-Time Feedback
An open question in research nowadays is the usability of Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI) conceived to extend human capabilities of interaction within a virtual environment. Several paradigms are used for BCI but the Steady-State Visual-Evoked Potential (SSVEP) stands out as it provides a higher information transfer rate while requiring less training. It is an electroencephalographic response d...
