Flanders BCI lab - High-end, modular EEG equipment for Brain Computer Interfacing (Flanders BCI Lab)
From 12-03-2014 to 12-09-2019
Description
With Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI's) subjects can control the environment from their brain activity directly, bypassing the need for speech or other forms of muscular activity. Evidently, this has raised great hopes for patients suffering from severe disabilities. After the initial successes, three challenging topics have emerged for the future. First, the hybrid BCI's that aim to achieve a faster and more reliable communication by combining sensors and paradigms (eye trackers). Second, the affective BCI's that would enable subjects to convey emotions directly. Third, the cognitive (or natural) BCI's that relate to the subject's cognitive abilities such as selective attention and memory. To enable Flemish researchers to actively participate in this evolution, not only high-resolution EEG equipment is needed but also that can operate in synchrony to study collaborative actions between subjects (social skills). The targeted high-end EEG device is highly modular: this way, the consortium can also be served with several medium-resolution EEG devices, which can operate in synchrony for collaborate experiments.
