Time: Friday, Sept 26,19:00, Beijing Kuntai Hotel
Abstract: A Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) provides a new communication channel between the human brain and a computer. Mental activity involves electrical activity, and these electrophysiological signals can be recorded with techniques lik e the Electroencephalogram (EEG) or Electrocorticogram (ECoG). The BCI system detects and classifies such changes and transforms them into control signals, which can be used for moving objects, writing letters, opening doors, changing TV channels and other everyday household activities. This technology helps people with limited mobility increase their independence. One of the main goals is to enable completely paralyzed patients (locked-in syndrome) to communicate with their environment. Recent approaches also show a high potential for the use of BCI technology in motor rehabilitation (e.g. for stroke patients), for coma assessment and for communication with minimally conscious patients.
