The wheelchair as a full-body tool extending the peripersonal space

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Jean-Paul Noel, Elisa Canzoneri

Dedicated multisensory mechanisms in the brain represent peripersonal space (PPS), a limited portion of space immediately surrounding the body. Previous studies have illustrated the malleability of PPS representation through hand-object interaction, showin ...

Brain-Actuated Assistive Mobility For Disabled End-User

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Robert Leeb, Luca Tonin, Tom Edward Carlson

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) have been successfully used to control assistive mobility devices (like a telepresence robot or an electric wheelchair) using only motor imagery. Importantly, disabled end-users are able to achieve similar performances as h ...

Driving a BCI Wheelchair: A Patient Case Study

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Robert Leeb, Tom Edward Carlson, Guillaume Monnard

Our brain-actuated wheelchair uses shared control to couple the user input with the contextual information about the surroundings in order to perform natural manoeuvres both safely and efficiently. In this study, we investigate the feasibility of using our ...

The Birth of the Brain–Controlled Wheelchair

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Robert Leeb, Tom Edward Carlson

The prospect of controlling devices merely by the power of one’s thoughts is compelling, especially for assistive technology applications. In the accompanying video, we show how we have strived to push brain–computer interface (BCI) technology out of the l ...

Collaborative control in human wheelchair interaction reduces the need for dexterity in precise manoeuvres

Tom Edward Carlson

Distributing control appropriately between man and machine is particularly pertinent to assistive technology. We use shared control techniques to augment wheelchair users’ capabilities, enabling them to safely perform precise manoeuvres. In this paper, we ...
