Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) allow interactions with a computer system by means of one’s brain activity. The most common type of BCIs measure the electrical activity of the brain through Electroencephalography (EEG) by electrodes set non-invasively.
To build a BCI, a person is instructed to perform one or more mental actions (e.g. imagine you are moving your hand, or imagine an object), after which a classification algorithm is trained to recognize the recorded activity. For each class of mental activity recognized, an action can be associated and triggered on a computer system. This system can be, for example, a wheelchair, a microwave or …a robot! Come and try it out!
