SEPICS EXCHANGE PROGRAM IN INTELLIGENT COMPUTER SYSTEMS Presented by VasiliosGennaris
CONTENTS • Presentation of the student • Presentation of the laboratory • Reason for choosing SEPICS • Project’s subject • Requirements for project development • EEG Device, Control panel of device • Reading Progress • Development Progress • Questions
PRESENTATION OF THE STUDENT • GennarisVasilios • Undergraduate student of Applied Informatics and Multimedia Department, TEI of Crete • Program`s supervisor: Claude Frasson, Professor, Director of the HERON laboratory • My Supervisor: Maher Chaouachi, doctorate candidate • EU Supervisor: George Papadourakis, Professor TEI of CRETE
PRESENTATION OF THE LABORATORY University of Montreal (Universite de Montreal) • Computer Science Department, HERON lab • Interest in Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) • Artificial Intelligence • Human-computer interaction • Emotional intelligence • Education, Pedagogy, Learning techniques, Knowledge Engineering • The goal of the lab: • understand brain functions • produces knowledge and how knowledge is stored, retrieved and deployed
WHY CHOOSE SEPICS • SEPICS – Student Exchange Program in Intelligent Computer Systems. • This program gave me the change to study abroad in one of the best universities of Canada. • Its an excellent opportunity to further my academic knowledge and work on a research program • Travelling to Canada and experience the way of life and culture of Canadian people.
PROJECT`S SUBJECT • Establish an intelligent agent able to capture user`s electrical brain activity • The goal of the agent is to continuously monitor and access the electrical activity by using ElectroEncephaloGraph(EEG) device • The agent`s operation mode includes pre-processing the EEGsignal handling different exceptions • The project involves developing a graphical interface • The capture agent will be integrated within an intelligent tutoring system in order to provide valuable information concerning users brain activity
REQUIREMENTS FOR PROJECT DEVELOPMENT • C++ (DotNet framework) • SDK of the device • MFC library
EEG DEVICE - EMOTIV • Emotiv EEG is a device that you “wear” it on your head and it can capture the Electroencephalographysignal thatourbraintransmit, using 16 sensors
CONTROL PANEL OF DEVICE • We have three suites in the Affectiv Control panel of the device ExpressivCognitiv
READING PROGRESS • Understand and analyze the requirements • C++ Documentations and Tutorials • Manual and Software of Emotiv-Device
READING PROGRESS • SDK • MFC library • Conception the development of project
PROJECT DEVELOPMENT • Three Steps for developing the project • Connection • Main Loop • Disconnection
CONNECTION • Connection • Connection with the device • Add new or existing user • Handle all the exceptions for the above • Already created the connection and the add_user operations • Here are some function that I use from the SDK • EE_EngineConnect() • EE_EmoEngineEventCreate() • EE_EmoStateCreate()
MAIN LOOP • Main loop • Capture each event that happens during the connection • Creates a file to write the data that we receive from the device • Handle exceptions
DISCONNECTION • Disconnection • Terminate the connection • Release memory that was captured • Already created the Disconnect operation
OUR GOAL • The Goal is to retrieve the signal from the device • Handle all the possible exceptions • Write on a file all the signals, so that can be used from other applications or for research proposes • Also create an interface for controlling the device and monitoring the signal
