 Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) record brain signals, analyze and translate them into control commands which are relayed to output devices that carry out desired actions. These systems do not use normal neuromuscular output pathways. Actually, the principal goal of BCI systems is to provide better life style for physically-challenged people which are suffered from cerebral palsy, amyotrophic l...

‎There are different feature extraction methods in brain-computer interfaces (BCI) based on Steady-State Visually Evoked Potentials (SSVEP) systems‎. ‎This paper presents a comparison of five methods for stimulation frequency detection in SSVEP-based BCI systems‎. ‎The techniques are based on Power Spectrum Density Analysis (PSDA)‎, ‎Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)‎, ‎Hilbert‎- ‎Huang Transform (H...

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) are communication systems, which enable users to send commands to computers by using brain activity only; this activity being generally measured by Electroencephalography (EEG). BCIs are generally designed according to a pattern recognition approach, i.e., by extracting features from EEG signals, and by using a classifier to identify the user’s mental state from...

Much of BCI research to date has focused on the direct control of computer interfaces (e.g., mouse cursors or text input systems) by sensing brain states. While using brain activity as a replacement for motor movement is an astonishing and worth-while endeavor, we believe that brain-computer interfaces used in this capacity will remain limited to a fairly small group of users with limited motor...

As a new way of implementing human-computer interface, brain-computer interfaces (BCI) dramatically change the user experiences and have broad applications in cyber behavior research. This methodological review attempts to provide an overall picture of the BCI science and its role in cyberpsychology. After an introduction of BCI and the literature search methods used in this review, we offer an...

This paper surveys existing and past research on brain-computer interfaces (BCI) for implicit human-computer interaction. A novel way of using BCI has indeed emerged, which proposes to use BCI in a less explicit way : the so-called “passive” BCI. Implicit BCI or passive BCI refers to BCI in which the user does not try to control his brain activity. Thus the brain activity is assimilated to an i...

The analysis of the current integration attempts of some modes and use cases of user-machine interaction is presented. The new concept of the user-driven intelligent interface is proposed on the basis of multimodal augmented reality and brain-computer interaction for various applications: in disabilities studies, education, home care, health care, etc. The several use cases of multimodal augmen...

Brain computer interfaces (BCI) create a new approach to human computer communication, allowing the user to control a system simply by performing mental tasks such as motor imagery. This paper proposes and analyses different strategies for time segmentation in extracting common spatial patterns of the brain signals associated to these tasks leading to an improvement of BCI performance.

Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI) provide a way of communicating directly from brain activity, bypassing muscular control. We report some recent advances in a BCI communication system called the P300 speller, which is a virtual brain-operated keyboard. This system relies on electroencephalographic activity time-locked to the flashing of the desired letters. It requires calibration of the system, ...
