THIS DRAMATICALLY LIMITS PROGRESS! IEEE P2731 Unified Terminology for BCI - WG

  5. IEEE P2731 Unified Terminology for BCI - WG History (recent) • Seventh International BCI Meeting, 2018, Asilomar, California • Standards for neurotechnologies and Brain-Machine Interfacing • Walter Besio, University of Rhode Island • Carole Carey, IEEE EMBC • Ricardo Chavarriaga, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) • José Contreras-Vidal, University of Houston • Tim Mullen, Intheon • Ander Ramos-Murguialday, University of Tübingen

  6. IEEE P2731 Unified Terminology for BCI - WG History (early) • 2nd International BCI Meeting, 2002, Rensselaerville, New York • Mason and McFarland • Is a common framework possible? • Papers • Mason et al., 2003, 2005 • Bianchi et al., 2007 • Quitadamo et al., 2008

  7. IEEE P2731 Unified Terminology for BCI - WG Motivation • Lack of a common language • What is a BCI? Or BMI? Or BI? • Common framework. Is it possible? • What is a Trial? Session? Run? • What does “Real-Time” mean? • Lack of common methods • Metrics • Accuracy? • Overhead? • What are users expectations?

  12. IEEE P2731 Unified Terminology for BCI - WG WorkGroup Objective • The purpose of the standard is to provide unified terminology and definitions for BCIs.

  13. IEEE P2731 Unified Terminology for BCI - WG WG Methods: an iterative process • Multidisciplinarity • Psicology • Engineering • Neurology • Computer Science • Information Theory • Neuroscience • Robotics • Manufacturers • Users • Caregivers • …. • External inputs • IEEE P2794: Reporting Standards for in Vivo Neural Interface Research • BCI Society • Journals • …

  14. IEEE P2731 Unified Terminology for BCI - WG WG Methods: Multidisciplinarity Is it a problem?

  15. standards must provide clear advantages to the whole community, including patients, manufacturers, scientists and health professionals, in terms of quality, safety and efficiency; they must be minimally “invasive” with existing systems. In other words, actual system should not need to be largely modified in order to made them standard compliant; they should not reinvent the wheel, but possibly make use of already available standards (e.g. XML for certain file formats); they must be easy to understand; they should not represent a limitation to the implementation of new paradigms or an obstacle to innovation; IEEE P2731 Unified Terminology for BCI - WG

  16. IEEE P2731 Unified Terminology for BCI - WG WG Future Meetings’ Goals: • Start to address multidisciplinary related issues (different “visions”, etc..) • Define domains for P2731 (e.g. protocols, ethics, metrics, models, file formats, prosthetics, hardware, software, etc…) • Define own areas of expertise/interest/involvement (e.g. rehab, user, computer science, neurologists, caregiver, manufacturer, etc…) • Start to address the roadmap
