We aim at an augmentation of communication abilities of locked-in syndrome (LIS) 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 a stimulus–driven BCI based on vibration stimuli delivered via a gaming pad to the user’s back. We identify P300 responses from brain activity data in response to the ...

Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) uses brain’s neural activity to interact with others or to control machines, prosthetic limbs, or robots without any direct physical movements. Electroencephalography (EEG) measures the electrical signals generated by the neurons in the brain, by placing electrodes along the scalp. BCI helps disabled individuals by providing a new channel of communication with the...

Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) research has become a growing field of interest in the last years. The work presented ranges from machine learning approaches in offline results to the application of a BCI in patients. However, reliable classification of brain activity is a crucial issue in BCI research. In contrast to most articles which present methods to enhance classification accuracies, we i...

We study the extent to which contact–less and airborne ultrasonic tactile display (AUTD) stimuli delivered to the palms of a user can serve as a platform for a brain computer interface (BCI) paradigm. Six palm positions are used to evoke combined somatosensory brain responses, in order to define a novel contact-less tactile BCI. A comparison is made with classical attached vibrotactile transduc...

A Brain Computer Interface (BCI) provides a communication path between human brain and the computer system. With the advancement in the areas of information technology and neurosciences, there has been a surge of interest in turning fiction into reality. The major goal of BCI research is to develop a system that allows disabled people to communicate with other persons and helps to interact with...

Abstract To assess—from a qualitative perspective—the perceptions and attitudes of Spanish rehabilitation professionals (e.g. doctors, speech therapists, physical therapists) about Brain–Computer Interface (BCI) technology. A qualitative, exploratory descriptive study was carried out by means interviews analysis textual content with mixed generation categories segmentation into frequency topics...

In this paper we present an approach to control a real car with brain signals. To achieve this, we use a brain computer interface (BCI) which is connected to our autonomous car. The car is equipped with a variety of sensors and can be controlled by a computer. We implemented two scenarios to test the usability of the BCI for controlling our car. In the first scenario our car is completely brain...
