  • Man-machine interfaces system and method, for instance applications in the area of rehabilitation
    Publication number: 20050085744
    Abstract: A system for developing a brain-computer interface (BCI), especially for use in rehabilitation, includes an audio-visual interface device for applying to a subject being examined stimuli eliciting event-related potentials and inducing brain reactions in said subject being examined. The system further includes an acquisition device for acquiring brain reaction signals (such as EEG traces) of the subject being examined synchronized with the stimuli and at least one processing device for processing the signals acquired via said acquisition device, The interface device, the acquisition device and the processing device comprise an integrated system. Preferably, the system uses a p300 signal as the event-related potential.
