Brain-Computer Interface (BCI): Research in Communication, Control and Human Cognition (Chang S. Nam; [email protected]) What is a brain-computer interface? Edward P. Fitts Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering A non-muscular communication and control system that does not depend on the brain’s normal output pathways of peripheral nerves and muscles Thinking for Typing by Paralyzed Persons Breaking Silence of Vegetative State Patients Motivation for Research • Patients in minimally conscious state are often misdiagnosed as being in vegetative state. • BCIs can help precisely diagnose patients and allow for communication with outside world; BCIs do not require using pathways of peripheral nerves and muscle movement.
