Project title: BCI - Brain Computer Interfaces.
Abstract: The Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) systems of today have primarily been developed to replace the lost abilities of patients diagnosed with motor-neuron diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Of these lost abilities, the most important seems to be that of communication, represented by the increasing volume worldwide of research and development into such applications. Another valuable element of human life however is that of creative expression. Modification to the P300-BCI communication system has yielded an application which provides the ability for such expression, Brain Painting. Further studies involves the analysis of ALS patients Quality of Life. Later studies will examine the effects of learning, motivation and emotion on BCI performance in healthy and ALS subjects.
