Toward smarter BCIs: extending BCIs through hybridization and intelligent control

This paper summarizes two novel ways to extend brain-computer interface (BCI) systems. One way involves hybrid BCIs. A hybrid BCI is a system that combines a BCI with another device to help people send information. Different types of hybrid BCIs are discus ...

A hybrid BCI based on the fusion of EEG and EMG activities

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Robert Leeb, Hesam Sagha

Hybrid Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) are representing a recent approach to develop practical BCIs. In such a system disabled users are able to use all their remaining functionalities as control possibilities in parallel with the BCI. Sometimes these peop ...

TRIPILLAR: Miniature magnetic caterpillar climbing robot with plane transition ability

Francesco Mondada, Roland Moser, Frédéric Rochat, Patrick Schoeneich, Olivier Truong-Dat Nguyen

We present a miniature magnetic climbing robot with dimensions 96 x 46 x 64mm(3). With two degrees of freedom it is able to climb ferromagnetic surfaces and to make inner plane to plane transitions whatever their inclination is. This robot, named TRIPILLAR ...

Sensing Pressure Distribution on a Lower-Limb Exoskeleton Physical Human-Machine Interface

Auke Ijspeert, Renaud Ronsse

A sensory apparatus to monitor pressure distribution on the physical human-robot interface of lower-limb exoskeletons is presented. We propose a distributed measure of the interaction pressure over the whole contact area between the user and the machine as ...

Tools for brain-computer interaction: a general concept for a hybrid BCI

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Robert Leeb, Luca Tonin, Michele Tavella

The aim of this work is to present the development of a hybrid Brain-Computer Interface (hBCI) which combines existing input devices with a BCI. Thereby, the BCI should be available if the user wishes to extend the types of inputs available to an assistive ...

Single trial detection of spatial covert visual attention for BCI

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Robert Leeb, Luca Tonin

This paper discusses a time-dependent classification approach for single trial recognition of spatial covert visual attention for Brain–Computer Interface. Covert visual attention is a natural and intuitive mental task that does not require any external st ...

Multimodal Fusion of Muscle and Brain Signals for a Hybrid-BCI

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Robert Leeb, Hesam Sagha

Practical Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) for disabled people should allow them to use all their remaining functionalities as control possibilities. Sometimes these people have residual activity of their muscles, most likely in the morning when they are n ...
