Abstract:
Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) support direct communication and control between brain and external devices without any use of peripheral nerves and muscles. It provides a new technology for those people with severe motor disabilities to convey their intents or to control surrounding devices.
As a non-invasive technology, the electroencephalogram (EEG) based BCI has drawn many attentions in BCI studies. Four types of EEG based BCI will be introduced, they are based on steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP), motor imagery, motion onset and auditory stimulus respectively. The demonstrations showing the potential applications of the systems will also be presented.
