Here, we aimed to estimate 3-dimensional movements using magnetoencephalography (MEG) signals. For the movement decoding, we determined 68 MEG channels on motor-related area and 4 sub-frequency bands, 0.5–8, 9–22, 25–40 and 57–97Hz, based on event-related desynchronization (ERD) and synchronization (ERS). Our results demonstrate that non-invasive signals can estimate 3-dimensional movements with considerably high performance (mean r > 0.6). We also verified that low-frequency activity plays an important role in estimating a 3-dimensional movement trajectory. These results imply that disabled people will be able to control prosthetic devices without surgery in the near future.","PeriodicalId":129758,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Winter Workshop on Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)","volume":"235 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122374464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the offline experiments performed with five participants, we optimized various factors influencing the performance of the mental spelling system, such as distances between adjacent keys, light source arrangements, stimulating frequencies, recording electrodes, and visual angles. The online experiments were conducted with six participants to verify the feasibility of the optimized mental spelling system. The results of the online experiments were an average typing speed of 9.39 letters per minute (LPM) with an average success rate of 87.58 % corresponding to an average information transfer rate of 40.72 bits per minute, demonstrating the high performance of the developed mental spelling system. Indeed, the average typing speed of 9.39 LPM attained in this study was one of the best LPM results among those reported in previous BCI literatures. To further enhance the performance of our mental spelling system, we combined eye direction information (‘left’ or ‘right’) extracted from a web camera with the SSVEP responses. As a result of the online experiments performed with 10 participants, the hybrid speller could reduce 16.6 typing errors on average.","PeriodicalId":129758,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Winter Workshop on Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130351408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Precisely, we here simulated three kinds of realistic emergency situations instead of only one as considered in Haufe et al., 2011. For each of the three situations, the analysis of electroencephalography (EEG) data reveals a different characteristic spatio-temporal event-related potential (ERP) sequence. For all stimuli, topographical maps of area under the curve (AUC) scores related to the discrimination between emergency and normal driving situations show a significant positive deflection in parietal regions about 300ms post-stimulus. Thus, it is possible to predict different emergency situations from EEG before the actual braking. A classification analysis indeed reveals that EEG-based emergency braking detection can be performance faster than electromyography- or pedal-based detection, while being as robust.","PeriodicalId":129758,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Winter Workshop on Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)","volume":"116 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132408068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In mobile applications these possibilities are attractive as elements in systems for personal state monitoring and well-being, and in clinical settings were patients may need imaging under quasi-natural conditions. Challenges related to the ill-posed nature of the EEG imaging problem escalate in mobile real-time systems and new algorithms and the use of meta-data may be necessary to succeed. Based on recent work (Delorme et al., 2011) we hypothesize that solutions of interest are sparse. We propose a new Markovian prior for temporally sparse solutions and a direct search for sparse solutions as implemented by the so-called “variational garrote” (Kappen, 2011). We show that the new prior and inference scheme leads to improved solutions over competing sparse Bayesian schemes based on the “multiple measurement vectors” approach.","PeriodicalId":129758,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Winter Workshop on Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130654765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
