Principles of brain computer interface
Overall Course Objectives
The objective is to obtain basic understanding of Brain Computer Interface (BCI: Computer-based systems that record, decode and translate measurable neurophysiological signals into commands for output devices to perform an action without any muscular activation). This is achieved by incorporating real-time signal processing methods for the feature extraction and classification in EEG (electroencephalography)-based BCIs.
See course description in Danish
Learning Objectives
- describe the EEG signals that can be detected as markers of mental activity.
- describe different BCI systems and neural prostheses.
- apply signal processing techniques to condition the EEG signals.
- develop methods for extracting relevant features.
- implement classification algorithms to classify these signals.
- build a functioning BCI system.
- review and present selected scientific articles.
- discuss the developments and the future of this field.
Course Content
Brain-Computer Interface based on different types of EEGs will be covered in the form of lectures, discussions, practical and theoretical learning methods. The students will be asked to present a scientific article. A BCI design group project (group of 2) using the available BCI data or new data will be completed with a final report and a presentation.
