Error-Related EEG Potentials Generated during Simulated Brain-Computer Interaction

Pierre Ferrez, José del Rocio Millán Ruiz

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are prone to errors in the recognition of subject's intent. An elegant approach to improve the accuracy of BCIs consists in a verification procedure directly based on the presence of error-related potentials (ErrP) in the E ...

Non-Invasive Brain-Machine Interaction

Pierre Ferrez, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Eileen Lew Yi Lee

The promise of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) technology is to augment human capabilities by enabling interaction with computers through a conscious and spontaneous modulation of the brainwaves after a short training period. Indeed, by analyzing brain ele ...

Context-based Filtering for Assisted Brain-Actuated Wheelchair Driving

Pierre Ferrez, José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Eileen Lew Yi Lee

Controlling a robotic device by using human brain signals is an interesting and challenging task. The device may be complicated to control and the non-stationary nature of the brain signals provides for a rather unstable input. With the use of intelligent ...

Error-related EEG potentials in brain-computer interfaces

Pierre Ferrez, José del Rocio Millán Ruiz

People with severe motor disabilities (spinal cord injury (SCI), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), etc.) but with intact brain functions are somehow prisoners of their own body. They need alternative ways of communication and control to interact with th ...

Towards a Robust BCI: Error Potentials and Online Learning

Pierre Ferrez, José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Anna Buttfield

Recent advances in the field of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) have shown that BCIs have the potential to provide a powerful new channel of communication, completely independent of muscular and nervous systems. However, while there have been successful l ...

Non-Invasive Estimation of Local Field Potentials for Neuroprosthesis Control

Pierre Ferrez, José del Rocio Millán Ruiz

Recent experiments have shown the possibility to use the brain electrical activity to directly control the movement of robots or prosthetic devices in real time. Such neuroprostheses can be invasive or non-invasive, depending on how the brain signals are r ...
