Project description

The goal of the project “EEG-based brain-computer interfaces for use in health care (EBCI)” was the development of new approaches in the field of SSVEP-based brain-computer interfaces (BCI). A BCI is a system that allows people to communicate without moving. It measures the brain activity (for example, via the non-invasively measured electroencephalogram (EEG)) and converts them directly into computer commands, which can control a computer or some other assistance system. This tool can be the only way of communication for severely disabled users.
