Resumen: Introducción: En 2020 y 2021 la pandemia por COVID-19 tuvo repercusiones a nivel mundial. Los pacientes EPOC constituyen un grupo de riesgo para sufrir enfermedad grave COVID-19. Las medidas sanitarias recomendadas OMS resultaron eficaces disminuir tanto propagación del SARS-CoV2 como otros virus respiratorios.  Objetivo: Determinar las tomadas mitigar los efectos en una población...

This paper presents a bio-signal based human machine interface (HMI) for hands-free control of an electric powered wheelchair. In this novel HMI, an Emotive EPOC sensor is deployed to detect facial expressions and head movements of users, which are then recognized and converted to four uni-modal control modes and two bi-modal control modes to operate the wheelchair. Nine facial expressions and ...

This report describes a series of experiments that track novice programmer’s engagement during two attention based tasks. The tasks required participants to watch a tutorial video on introductory programming and to attend to a simple maze game whilst wearing an electroencephalogram (EEG) device called the Emotiv EPOC. The EPOC’s proprietary software includes a system which tracks emotional stat...

This study aims to demonstrate the interaction between the human being and the machine through a neural pattern recognizing interface, namely Emotiv EPOC, and a robotic device made by Arduino. The union of these technologies is assessed in specific tests, seeking a usable and stable binding with the smallest possible rate of error, based on a study of how the human electrical synapses are produ...
