Scientific Activities

The main research interests of Angelo Ciaramella are Computational Intelligence, Machine Learning and Data Mining. In particular he is interested in statistical and Machine Learning approaches for Blind Source Separation, Sparse Coding, Compressive Sensing and Dictionary Learning, for signal processing (i.e., audio, images, video, streaming, astrophysical and geological) and feature extraction. Moreover, he has been working on fuzzy and neuro-fuzzy systems for structured and unstructured data. He is interested in developing Fuzzy Decision Support Systems in risk assessment. He also studied and developed new methodologies for pre-processing, clustering, visualization and assessment of biological, air quality and social network data (e.g., twitter). Recently, he is also interested in signal processing by using Deep Learning methodologies in Brain Computer Interfaces.

Special Issue "Technology and Applications of Brain-Computer Interfaces"

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Today, human–computer interaction (HCI) devices are used for interfacing with computers for different purposes such as data entry, control or communication. A brain–computer interface (BCI) is a channel of communication between the brain and an external acquisition device that is largely used for HCI. In computer science and bioengineering, BCI is used for different purposes such as device control, gaming, and supporting people with handicap, as in the cases of acquisition and interpretation of EEG/neural data which can control the moves of a wheelchair, replay some vocal synthesis, or also control a home automation system. Moreover, consumer-grade EEG devices allow detecting emotions and facial expressions and can be used for contextual brain research and BCI applications. In recent years, novel computational approaches have been studied and introduced for processing BCI data. In particular, Artificial-Intelligence-based methodologies have been largely adopted.

The aim of the Special Issue is to host recent research advances in the field of technology and applications of brain–computer interfaces and to highlight research issues and still open questions.

Potential topics include computational methodologies (but are not limited to):

  • Applied and Computational Mathematics;

  • Computational Intelligence;

  • Machine Learning;

  • Data mining;

when applied to:

  • Medical data;

  • Smart environment;

  • Educational;

  • Games and entertainment;

  • Security and authentication;

  • Neuromarketing.

Furthermore, software tools designed for addressing any of the above topics might also be considered relevant for the Special Issue.


Topics of interest include but not limited to:

  • applied and computational mathematics (e.g., filtering, pre-processing);

  • computational intelligence (e.g., fuzzy logic, deep neural networks, evolutionary computation, probabilistic methods);

  • machine learning (e.g., support vector machine, Boltzmann machine);

  • data mining (e.g., feature extraction, clustering)
