Meanwhile, multimodal imaging techniques based on combined EEG and near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) have been studied in BCI research and shown to lead to beneficiary results in terms of classification [1]. However, performance results of this study show that there is a difference of peak accuracy (about 5s) between NIRS and EEG caused by the high latency of the NIRS signal. Based on our experimental results and analysis, we show that even though there is high latency of NIRS signal in our proposed multimodal imaging technique, it can be reasonable system for real-time BCI.","PeriodicalId":129758,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Winter Workshop on Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)","volume":"5 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":"128121275","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}

Typically a user has to type each character of a word at a time: this spelling process is slow and it can take several minutes to type an entire word. In this work, we propose a new word typing scheme by integrating a word suggestion mechanism via a dictionary search into the conventional P300-based speller. Our new P300-based word typing system consists of an initial character spelling paradigm, a smart dictionary unit to give suggestions of possible words, and the final word selection paradigm to select a word out of the suggestions. Our proposed methodology reduces typing time significantly and makes word typing more convenient. We have tested our system with four subjects and our results demonstrate an average words typing time of 1.66 minute, whereas the conventional took 2.9 minute for the same words.","PeriodicalId":129758,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Winter Workshop on Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)","volume":"2015 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":"123832351","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}

However, such studies are insufficient to apply motor rehabilitation, which are only considered hand movement trajectory. Although disabilities patients take correct hand movement, sometimes wrong elbow movement can be taken in motor rehabilitation. In this study, we explore to decode velocity of both hand and elbow at the same time from EEG signals when subjects move upper limb.

A variety of methods have been proposed to analyze such high-dimensional data and go by various 3-letter acronyms such as PCA, ICA, LDA, SVM, CSP, DSS, CCA, CSD. What all of these methods have in common is that they integrate information by averaging across space, and the different techniques only differ in the contribution of each channel to the average. This has the potential to substantially improve signal quality. The goal of this presentation is to give an overview of existing techniques focusing on those techniques that have an easy to understand objective criterion. It should thus provide a guide on how to pick the technique that best suits a given experimental goal. The review will start with the simplest and most straightforward idea, and finish with a few more recent and novel techniques that are not yet widely known.","PeriodicalId":129758,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Winter Workshop on Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)","volume":"10 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":"133370628","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}
