Abstract

We present an overview of our Brain-computer interface (BCI) research, invasive as well as non-invasive, during the past four years. The invasive BCIs are based on local field-and action potentials recorded with microelectrode arrays implanted in the visual cortex of the macaque monkey. The non-invasive BCIs are based on electroencephalogram (EEG) recorded from a human subject's scalp. Several EEG paradigms were used to enable the subject to type text or to select icons on a computer screen, without having to rely on one's fingers, gestures, or any other form of motor activity: the P300 event-related potential, the steady-state visual evoked potential, and the error related potential. We report on the status of our EEG BCI tests on healthy subjects as well as patients with severe communication disabilities, and our demonstrations to a broad audience to raise the public awareness of BCI.
