Towards Clinical Applications ofBrain-Computer Interfaces Febo Cincotti Fondazione Santa Lucia IRCCS Brussels, January 16, 2006
Topics • Direct Brain-Computer Communication • BCI as an access to ICT • Assistive Technologies and Clinical Monitoring driven by a BCI • BCI “Devices” • Standardization Issues
BCI: logical scheme (yet another!) Increase of performance appropriate feature extraction Modification ofBrain Signals Signal Features computer training user training Psychological Effort(Intention) Classification Of Intent Environment appropriate feedback strategy
need for "BCI device“ optimization of the BCI interface (to user and to caregiver: generalization and simplification ) integration of the BCI device as a control into standard domotic and robotic systems Integration with assistive technologies Voice Recognition Mouse & Keyboard BCI Touchscreen Gesture Recognition Assistive Device
helpful to foster involvement of companies into the field important to promote cooperation among research groups Topics for standardization: system architecture relationship with existing human-computer devices training procedures signal processing techniques indices of performance communication protocols with external devices Role of technical standards in the development of BCI systems
