Berlin Brain-Computer Interface - The HCI communication channel for discovery

The investigation of innovative Human–Computer Interfaces (HCI) provides a challenge for future interaction research and development. Brain–Computer Interfaces (BCIs) exploit the ability of human communication and control bypassing the classical neuromuscular communication channels. In general, BCIs offer a possibility of communication for people with severe neuromuscular disorders, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or complete paralysis of all extremities due to high spinal cord injury. Beyond medical applications, a BCI conjunction with exciting multimedia applications, e.g., a dexterity discovery, could define a new level of control possibilities also for healthy customers decoding information directly from the user’s brain, as reflected in EEG signals which are recorded non-invasively from the scalp. This contribution introduces the Berlin Brain–Computer Interface (BBCI) and presents set-ups where the user is provided with intuitive control strategies in plausi...
