Dr. Nam is the author or coauthor of over 70 research publications including journal articles, books,
book chapters, and conference proceedings. There are different classification methods and they can
be divided using their classifier properties into: Linear classifiers, neural networks, non-linear
Bayesian classifiers, nearest neighbor classifiers and combinations of classifiers (Lotte 2007). 9.8.1.
Linear classifiers Linear classifiers are discriminant algorithms that use linear functions to separate
between classes. Journal of Neural Engineering, 2(4):L14, 2005. 35. S Sutton, M Braren, J Zubin,

Kernel, a startup created by Braintree co-founder Bryan Johnson, is also trying to enhance human
cognition. In particular, we address the question of whether an attacker may gain advantage from
information about a given target's secret thoughts. Electroencephalography (EEG) is currently being
used for communication, movement, and medical purposes through BCIs. Patient 6 came to accept it
as an integral part of their new self, whereas three recipients, without feeling that their sense of self
had been fundamentally shifted, were happy to rely on the system. For motor or sensory
enhancement, these devices require months of physical therapy before they become effective. The
system ensures that different laboratories share the same names over electrode positioning. Military
structures have long been developed in order to better command and control a giant army- from
flags to horns and drums, to radio communications. Conclusions and Predictions This paper has run
the gambit from current BCI devices that can control simple robots, create simple virtual reality, or
improve visual or auditory senses to an imagined future where BCI devices are used to facility brain
connections to the Internet, creating human network with the possibility of true democracy. World

not-for-profit organization, IEEE is the world's largest technical professional organization dedicated
to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity. BCI is important because it fills that
communication need, since it does not rely on any movement at all. This is followed by an ALS
patient study of a newly proposed paradigm that targets higher level cognitive processes namely,
activation of self-referential memory and cognitive task devoid of mnemonic content, to transmit
information and infer user intent. The essential difference between these two subjects is the location
of attachment. In the case of an intellectual disability, which as we have seen affects almost half of
the children with CP, we cannot speak of attention problems. The degree of cognitive impairment is
such that the attention processes cannot reach the required level so that it can be captured by the
interface. In 2002, Jens Naumann, a blind man, received an invasive BCI implant developed by
William Dobelle that allowed him to use an artificial eye to see with imperfect vision, and even drive
very slowly around a parking lot.
Spatial filters like the common average reference (CAR) or the Laplacian filter can be used to
subtract common noise and enhance local activity. An Evaluation of Autoregressive Spectral

system such that the user is operating the system. The feature extraction could be divided in two
main groups: temporal and frequential methods, a third group can be added as hybrid between
temporal and frequency techniques. 9.7.1. Temporal methods Features that present a time dependent
variation can be treated using a temporal method. A second drawback is that SSVEP are usually
developed with a short number of flickering channels trying to avoid distraction and hence lower
performance. 9.7. Feature extraction Even though the amount of electrodes, the number of tasks
performed, the high sample frequency required, the classes and the different patterns make that the
amount of data recorded large, the normal training data set is short. Elsevier’s journals, books,
eBooks, online references, and tools are respected around the world for everything from physiology
and pathology to behavioral genetics and nerve repair. Executive functions are the brain functions
that regulate and control impulse, anticipate consequences, put attention, regulate emotion, allow
flexibility, plan and monitor results. Delta waves are an indicator for deep sleep or deep
unconsciousness, theta waves indicate transition between deep sleep and wakefulness, alpha waves
indicate inactive wakefulness and relaxation, beta waves indicate active wakefulness, gamma waves
indicate strong concentration and learning. Instead, the P300 looks for very specific signals. This
property makes it possible to predict the next state based on the current state and action without
considering the history of all states and actions. It offers hope to many people whose lives have been
drastically impacted by their conditions and who are unable to complete everyday tasks. In fact, it is
the electrical model of the brain that lends itself to the direct interaction between the brain and
electronic computing. There, no doubt, are still significant challenges and therefore a need for
continued fundamental and translational research. Since it was first reported by Little in 1861, it has
been widely documented and it has attracted research interest. IEEE Transactions on Biomedical
Engineering, 1502-1511.Johnson, G. (1998). Understanding how the Brain Works. The correct
selection of the features is crucial, if the features extracted from EEG are not relevant and do not
accurately describe the EEG signals employed, the classification algorithm will have trouble
selecting the class or label the user intended. In order to capture the brain’s signal they use neuro-
imaging techniques such as EEG and MEG. The applications for such devices are far reaching- from
cybernetics (the science of systems control and communications in living organisms and machines) to
virtual reality computing, instantaneous communications, and even nano-technology. Furthermore,
maintaining long term reliable recording with implantable electrodes is difficult. Beyond upper limb
and hand rehabilitation in stroke, another chapter addresses a potentially new application for BCIs,
namely, dysphagia rehabilitation, providing a thorough review of neural and cortical correlates of
swallowing and detection of the motor imagery of swallow. Functional Near Functional Infrared
Spectroscopy (fNIRS) is commonly used to record brain signals. In an ongoing clinical trial for this
device, known as SWITCH, data from two patients in the study demonstrated the ability to control
devices and text through direct input. The main advantages of artificial neural networks are: Ability
to generalize and learn. A headset will allow thought control for one UAV or one Robot. As a normal
procedure, the P300 of different repetitions are averaged, to reduce the effect of artifacts, or the
presence of different mental activity that could masked the ongoing P300. The child that has trouble
maintaining his attention on the signal is more likely to refuse to try or abandon the task. Published

amplifier gyroscope signals as control for the displacement and the direction for an electric
wheelchair (see Figure 10.). Figure 10. Example of the control with the movements of the head,
translated with a gyroscope into the control of an electric wheelchair. The hypothesis is that higher
cognitive tasks to modulate brain activity may be better than tasks that involve sensorimotor
processes for ALS sufferers, as sensorimotor processes are impaired in ALS. Frankly a single BCI
from a human to a computer seems unlikely.

The ten-twenty electrode system of the international federation. These devices might require surgery
to implant, making them impractical or undesirable. The first focuses on assessment of cognitive load
or mental workload of professional air traffic controllers during realistic air traffic control tasks using
a passive BCI, demonstrating the feasibility of passive BCIs in operative environments. When they
see that letter, they go “ah ha!” in their head. These devices are worn on the outside of the head and
are removable. BCIs are computational systems that acquire brain signals, analyse them, and translate
the data into commands which are relayed onto an output device to carry out a specific task. The
main objective in using BMI systems is to bypass or compensate possible damages in data processing
pathways in the brain or to exchange data between the brain and the peripheral nervous system.

Eric C Leuthardt, Gerwin Schalk, Jonathan R Wolpaw, Jeffrey G Ojemann, and Daniel W Moran. He
is now preparing a follow-up report on Patient 6. Not all information provided by the measured
channels is generally relevant for understanding the underlying phenomena of interest. Most patients
that have spastic tetraparetic, discinetic and ataxic have a severe mental discapacity ( SCPE Working
Group 2002 ) There have been studies that prove that children with CP with average intelligence
have attentional deficits or problems with the executive functions, which may partially account for
the behavioral problems that sometimes present. ( Guzzetta 2001 ) They might have deficits in
visioperceptive functioning. The most common used for BCI are Linear Discriminant Analysis (also
known as Fisher’s LDA) and supported vector machines. The company has created a novel approach
to the BCI procedure called the Stentrode. Of course, interface systems which utilise invasive
methods introduce a number of challenges. The speed at which BCIs have developed recently
demonstrated significant steps in complex technologies and so it is hoped that data security will
evolve at the same pace in order to support these advancements. Motor neurons in the brain relay a
signal to the muscles to move. Other methods that are not in use but are being considered include
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and near infrared spectrum imaging (NIRS) to provide analysis
of brain wave and chemical patterns, but are currently impractical due to their size (Berger, et al.,
2007). Probably the most commonly used signal that is identified and captured is called the P300
wave- especially when used with EEG methods. Instead of avoided, rejected or removed artifacts
from recordings of brain signals, some systems acquire and process artifacts to offer a communication
path that either disabled or healthy people can use in many tasks and in different environments. The
third method uses a feature that can be located both in time and frequency domain. Figure 5
illustrates the use of EP and ERDS for achieving brain-computer interaction in physical and virtual
environment. Figure 5. Examples of evoke potentials with either lights or screen squares flickering at
different frequencies 9.6. BCI control commands Within these two ways of brain signal extraction
there are four main strategies to consider for input at a BCI system. Executive Summary Hare
Chevrolet is a General Motors dealership. Imagine the impact on privacy, therefore when a network
that defines uniqueness- one person would have one brain-computer interface device into large scale
network. As BCIs evolve (and perhaps this is a poor choice of words when the technology is so
closely related to the organic), they will change from translation devices to network conduits that
understand brain transmissions output and return input of their own to the brain.
A notch pass filter over the frequency over the power line (50 or 60 Hz for America or Europe
recordings respectively) may also be applied suppressing signals in a narrow band. He held positions
at McMaster University, Canada, University of Twente, Nijmegen University and Vrije Universiteit
Brussels, before becoming full professor at the University of Twente, where he established the
Human Media Interaction (HMI) research group. In the case of an intellectual disability, which as
we have seen affects almost half of the children with CP, we cannot speak of attention problems. The
degree of cognitive impairment is such that the attention processes cannot reach the required level so
that it can be captured by the interface. He fitted electrodes into the brains of animals and even
humans, broadcasting the signals from the electrodes over radio signals. In other words, before you
pick up a glass of water, specific neurons will fire to indicate the intention to pick up the glass a
significant period of time before you think about picking up the glass. Language problems are also
common and their severity depends on the timing that the lesion took place, in the prelinguistic
period or later, when the linguistic function has already started to form. Reinforcement learning and
Brain computer interface: Reinforcement learning (RL)algorithms can generally be divided into two
categories: model-free and model-based. Brain computer interfaces combine knowledge and
techniques from neuroscience, signal processing and machine learning. Content Alerts Brief

are power spectral densities and band powers. The child has difficulties recognizing the spatial
relations between objects, as well as between objects and his own body. The reference and ground
can be positioned everywhere within the array of electrodes, but they are normally placed either over
the ear or the mastoids (the temporal bone behind the ear). An extension to this configuration is
using 70 electrodes ( Figure 4 b.), subdividing in between the 10-20 arcs (using the combinations of
the letters for reference). To decline or learn more, visit our Cookie Settings. These devices receive
the clearest signals from the electrical impulses between neurons and through axons; they are,
however, prone to be surrounded by scar tissue. Boosting uses several classifiers in cascade where the
errors committed by previous classifier are focus by each classifier. Current customizations are
module and attribute based- letting the customer add modules to the product i. Societal norms

As BCIs evolve (and perhaps this is a poor choice of words when the technology is so closely related
to the organic), they will change from translation devices to network conduits that understand brain
transmissions output and return input of their own to the brain. If someone other than the patient can
terminate treatment against the patient’s wishes, it implies that the technology degrades people’s
ability to make decisions for themselves. Dyskinetic CP is then further divided into athetoid and
dystonic. Instead, the P300 looks for very specific signals. Mahalanobis Distance has been used to
detect motor imagery of the hand giving accuracies over the 80% (Ming 2009). 9.8.5. Combinations

hemiplegia in the first years of life. It is caused by a lesion that occurred in the developing brain,
usually before birth but also during or after. SSVEP is a frequency-locked signal that manifests itself
as an increase of the EEG amplitude of the stimulated frequency over the occipital lobe. The normal
training for a SCP based BCI users first learn to move a cursor vertically on a monitor selecting
targets at the top or the bottom of the screen. These devices are worn on the outside of the head and
are removable. Also the velocity of displacement and turn was control depending on the amount of
rotation the gyroscopes detect from the movement of the head. The most common approach used for
classification is to calculate the bandpower in a specific frequency band and then use discrimination
via some machine learning technique (e.g. Fisher linear discriminant analysis). 9.6.2. Slow cortical
potentials Slow cortical potentials (SCPs) are slow voltage changes generated over the cortex. In the
case of an intellectual disability, which as we have seen affects almost half of the children with CP,
we cannot speak of attention problems. The degree of cognitive impairment is such that the attention
processes cannot reach the required level so that it can be captured by the interface. A voice-
activated or muscle-activated communication system does not qualify as BCI, as BCIs do not utilise
the normal output pathways of peripheral nerves and muscles, according to a 2021 review. However,
model based algorithms are dynamics model. Motor neurons in the brain relay a signal to the muscles
to move. For example, previous approaches to BCI involved drilling into the skull and implantation
of needle electrodes directly into the brain tissue. Not all information provided by the measured
channels is generally relevant for understanding the underlying phenomena of interest. With this
report, the authors developed a methodology for studying potential applications for emerging
technology. The neural correlates of psychological phenomena are inexact and poorly understood,
which means that signals from the brain are increasingly being processed by artificial intelligence
(AI) software before reaching prostheses. One point raised in a recent Nature article was questioning
the impact of using AI to analyse the complex data output of the brain. Although increased, as well
as muscle tone is the predominant feature observed, hyperreflexia, clonus, extensor Babinski
response, and persistent primitive reflexes are commonly seen. BCI is revolutionary in that it makes
up for that lost connection. In addition, the brain is resilient enough to learn and understand new
electric signals. Adding to this problem the noisy nonlinear superposition of the measured EEG
activity can mask underlying neural patterns and hamper their detection. Adding to this normal
neuromuscular activity depends of feedback to have a successful control. All RAND reports undergo
rigorous peer review to ensure high standards for research quality and objectivity. Current
commercial caps, such as the Emotive Epoc, they present an alternative for an everyday use being
more economically accessible, they have the drawback that they use wet electrodes that dry quickly,
and they are difficult to position and remain stable, which is problematic as it gives a high variance
over recordings, as well as the same recording, and they are not possible to use in a different
configuration. Acceptance of brain-computer interfaces in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Edited By
Chang S. Nam, Anton Nijholt, Fabien Lotte. In 10 years, we may be using BCIs instead of
Bluetooth headsets on our phones. Neurons can be divided as: dendrites which are channels of input
signals, core cell that processes all these signals and axons that transmit output signals of the
processed information came from dendrites.
Of course, this raises many ethical issues for instance, the ability to network two brains through a
computer- but that is getting a little ahead of ourselves. If someone other than the patient can
terminate treatment against the patient’s wishes, it implies that the technology degrades people’s
ability to make decisions for themselves. In addition, the brain is resilient enough to learn and

activity but records activities over small regions of the brain giving them a high spatial resolution,
and as it is implanted directly over the cortex, they have a high bandwidth, high SNR and high
amplitude. The persistence of primitive reflexes causes changes in muscle tone and the position of
limbs, which makes it interfere with the development of voluntary motor movements by causing
changes in muscle tone and the position of the limbs. Societal norms require that the fundamental
boundary between private thought and outward behaviour be protected. The subjects were able to
navigate around a virtual world with the aid of visual commands because it assisted their learning
process and focused their thought control. More of the burden actually falls onto the caregiver, who
