Our Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) team, Adrien Combaz, Nikolay Chumerin, Arne Robben, Marijn van Vliet and Nikolay Manyakov, headed by prof. Marc Van Hulle, works on EEG-based BCIs. An example of such system is braintyper or mindspeller, which allows to "brain-type" characters on a computer using only brain activity (see demo videos below). For the experiments we use a prototype of a wireless 8-channel EEG device developed and provided to us by IMEC.
Our P300-based mind-speller is described in details in our LNCS paper: Chumerin, N. et. al (2009). P300 detection based on Feature Extraction in on-line Brain-Computer Interface. Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol. 5803/2009, pp. 339-346.
