brain-computer interfaces have gained a large interest in several research fields in a relatively short time. This has led to different ways to describe and analyze systems making their comparison very difficult. Moreover, sharing data, methods and tools is difficult because standard file formats are still missing. Here some of the advantages coming from the definition of a standard model are reported together with the proposal of a roadmap aimed at achieving this goal with a minimal effort from the scientific community.

brain-computer interface (BCI) offers solutions for those with severe neuromuscular disorder. Indeed, it provides new non-muscular channel to control external devices. The aim of this work is to increase the classification accuracy rate using the suitable system parameters and methods. In this present study Welch's method for power spectral density (PSD) estimation has been used for features extraction followed by two different classification methods (Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (QDA)). The task was to think about right and left hand movement. A study of the influence of the flowing parameters was performed: frequency bands, predictive features, and classification method. The results show that the most significant increase takes place by improving the PSD estimation. Selecting the specific frequency bands of each cortical area provides also an important improvement. Finally the use of the suitable classifier is essential to attain optimal performances.

brain-computer interface (BCI) research and applications are radically progressing in a variety of fields and are appearing in products used by general consumers. As BCI becomes more prevalent, it is important to explore the array of human traits that may predict an individual's performance when using BCI technologies. This exploration designed and implemented and experiment, collecting and analyzing the data of (n=51) participants. Participants' performances were measured while manipulating a three-dimensional graphical object inside the Emotiv Xavier Control Panel Software, using the Emotiv EPOC+ non-invasive BCI headset. The measurements were interrelated to the participants' ability to control the BCI and contributed to the correlation among a variety of traits, including brain hemispheric dominance and Myers-Briggs personality type indicator. In essence, the experiment explored the correlations between performance and demographics. Inclusively, all demographics' performances were comparable, with low to no correlation between traits and performance;however, certain demographics performed on the extreme high and low ends of the spectrum. The preliminary results assert that a combination of human traits is being turned on and off in these individuals while using BCI technologies, affecting their performance. Ultimately, this type of exploratory experiment provides developers knowledge of the demographics that might benefit most from the BCI technologies, furthering insight on design and development strategies.

We have proposed brain-computer interface (BCI) for the estimation of the brain response on the presented visual tasks. Proposed BCI is based on the EEG recorder Encephalan-EEGR-19/26 (Medicom MTD, Russia) supplemented by a special home-made developed acquisition software. BCI is tested during experimental session while subject is perceiving the bistable visual stimuli and classifying them according to the interpretation. We have subjected the participant to the different external conditions and observed the significant decrease in the response, associated with the perceiving the bistable visual stimuli, during the presence of distraction. Based on the obtained results we have proposed possibility to use of BCI for estimation of the human alertness during solving the tasks required substantial visual attention.

We present a case report consisting of a 64-year old man with chronic severe left hemiplegia who received an intervention to restore reaching movements using a brain-computer interface combined with functional electrical stimulation therapy. The brain-computer interface was designed to be triggered by power decreases in the beta (13 Hz to 30 Hz) frequency range of a single EEG channel at location Fz of the 10-20 electrode placement system. The electrical stimulation system was designed to facilitate reaching forward, to the opposite (right) knee, opposite shoulder, mouth, and also lateral reaching. Each phase of the movement (i.e., reaching and retrieving) was activated by the brain-computer interface. After 40 90-minute sessions, delivered three times a week, the participant's arm function showed a clinically meaningful improvement (6 points in the Fugl-Meyer Assessment Upper Extremity sub-score). No other intervention completed by the participant prior to this study had produced any functional change.

We investigate the potential of brain-computer interface (BCI) using electroencephalogram (EEG) induced by listening (or recalling) auditory stimuli of different directions. In the initial attempt, we apply a time series classification model based on deep learning to the EEG to demonstrate whether each EEG can be classified by recognizing binary (left or right) auditory directions. The results showed high classification accuracy when trained and tested on the same users. Discussion is provided to further explore this topic.

As CS + X courses become more common, it is important for us to investigate ways to leverage interdisciplinary learning tools to expand the types of experiences available to students. This paper discusses our experiences introducing CS undergraduates to basic brain-computer interface (BCI) concepts using NeuroBlock. Neuroblock is a visual programming environment that allows users to build applications driven by near-real-time neurophysiological (i.e., brainwaves) data. brainwave data is captured using a commercial-grade BCI device. Students use brainwave data from the BCI device to create interactive hybrid-BCI applications (e.g., games) featuring objects that respond to students' affective states (e.g. engagement, relaxation, and attention) and keyboard events. In this paper, we describe NeuroBlock, three example activities, and results from an exploratory empirical study that suggests exposure to NeuroBlock increased students' confidence in their ability to develop applications that leverage neurophysiological signals. NeuroBlock and the discussed activities have the potential to supplement future CS + X courses by providing students hands on experiences with emerging physiological devices.

Movement intention (MI) is the mental state in which it is desired to make an action that implies movement. There are certain signals that are directly related with MI;mainly obtained in the primary motor cortex. These signals can be used in a brain-computer interface (BCI). BCIs have a wide variety of applications for the general population, classified in two groups: optimization of conventional neuromuscular performances and enhancement of conventional neuromuscular performances beyond normal capacities. The main goal of this project is to analyze if neural rhythm modulation enhancement could be achieved by practicing, through a BCI based on MI detection, which was designed in a previous study. A six-session experiment was made with eight healthy subjects. Each session was composed by two stages: a training stage and a testing stage, which allowed control of a videogame. The scores in the game were recorded and analyzed. Changes in alpha and beta bands were also analyzed in order to observe if attention could in fact be enhanced. The obtained results were partially satisfactory, as most subjects showed a clear improvement in performance at some point in the trials. As well, the alpha to beta wave ratio of all the tasks was analyzed to observe if there are changes as the experiment progresses. The results are promising, and a different protocol must be implemented to assess the impact of the BCI on the attention span, which can be analyzed with the alpha and beta waves.

In this paper, we present an attempt to improve EEG event related potential (ERP) responses with an ambisonic environment for a dynamic-sound spatial auditory brain-computer interface (BCI) paradigm, which is based on moving in an auditory space sound images. We present results obtained from the both psychophysical and EEG online BCI experiments with the proposed dynamic spatial sound. The results are validated based on the five user brainwave analyses. The online classification of the P300 response proves the reliability of the proposed method and it confirms advantages of such system compared to the state-of-the art auditory static sound-based spatial auditory BCI paradigms.
