Abstract: A method, system and computer readable media for a BMI using a fixed decoder based on ratios of different frequency bands, making the decoder robust, less jittery, and resistant to artifacts. The fixed decoder can be configured to use a limited subset of available channels. The decoder can therefore be optimized for each human subject (frequency bands to use, ratios to process the received signals, which channels, weights, etc.) and then fixed. Output from the fixed decoder can be provided to a training program that implements specific feedback and training parameters, thereby enabling subjects to learn to control devices rapidly, as well as consolidate this control. The training program provides continuous feedback of the current transformation being output by the fixed decoder in conjunction with feedback of the past transformations (e.g., up to a second before) and saliency of the feedback when goals of the task are achieved.

Abstract: An accountability and identification system includes multiple touch sensors and at least one instrument. At least one of the touch sensors is a personal identification touch sensor having user information on a unique user stored in the memory. One or more touch sensors may be a data touch sensor having user information on a unique group of users stored in the memory. Immediate danger to life and health (IDLH) devices have an IDLH touch sensor mounted thereon having information unique to the specific IDLH device stored in the memory. Each of the instruments includes a receptacle for reading the information stored on touch sensors, a microprocessor having a memory portion for storing operating software and the information read by the receptacle, a display, and an operator interface for controlling operation of the operating software.
