Human-inspired sound environment recognition system for assistive vehicles.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: The human auditory system acquires environmental information under sound stimuli faster than visual or touch systems, which in turn, allows for faster human responses to such stimuli. It also complements senses such as sight, where direct ...

Ten-dimensional anthropomorphic arm control in a human brain-machine interface: difficulties, solutions, and limitations.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: In a previous study we demonstrated continuous translation, orientation and one-dimensional grasping control of a prosthetic limb (seven degrees of freedom) by a human subject with tetraplegia using a brain-machine interface (BMI). The cur...

Brain-machine interfaces for controlling lower-limb powered robotic systems.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: Lower-limb, powered robotics systems such as exoskeletons and orthoses have emerged as novel robotic interventions to assist or rehabilitate people with walking disabilities. These devices are generally controlled by certain physical maneu...

Superior arm-movement decoding from cortex with a new, unsupervised-learning algorithm.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this work is to improve the state of the art for motor-control with a brain-machine interface (BMI). BMIs use neurological recording devices and decoding algorithms to transform brain activity directly into real-time control of ...

A review and experimental study on the application of classifiers and evolutionary algorithms in EEG-based brain-machine interface systems.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: Considering the importance and the near-future development of noninvasive brain-machine interface (BMI) systems, this paper presents a comprehensive theoretical-experimental survey on the classification and evolutionary methods for BMI-bas...

Real-time cerebellar neuroprosthetic system based on a spiking neural network model of motor learning.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: Damage to the brain, as a result of various medical conditions, impacts the everyday life of patients and there is still no complete cure to neurological disorders. Neuroprostheses that can functionally replace the damaged neural circuit h...

As above, so below? Towards understanding inverse models in BCI.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: In brain-computer interfaces (BCI), measurements of the user's brain activity are classified into commands for the computer. With EEG-based BCIs, the origins of the classified phenomena are often considered to be spatially localized in the...

Inferring imagined speech using EEG signals: a new approach using Riemannian manifold features.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: In this paper, we investigate the suitability of imagined speech for brain-computer interface (BCI) applications.
