Towards BCI-Based Interfaces for Augmented Reality: Feasibility, Design and Evaluation

Nicolas Julien Roussel, Camille Marie Jeunet

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) enable users to interact with computers without any dedicated movement, bringing new hands-free interaction paradigms. In this paper we study the combination of BCI and Augmented Reality (AR). We first tested the feasibilit ...

Fluorescence lifetime imaging using a single photon avalanche diode array sensor

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Ivan Michel Antolovic, Samuel Burri

Single photon detectors allows us work with the weakest fluorescence signals. Single photon arrays, combined with ps-controlled gating allow us to create image maps of fluorescence lifetimes, which can be used for in-vivo discrimination of tissue activity. ...
