Non-Invasive Brain-Machine Interaction

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Pierre Ferrez, Eileen Lew Yi Lee

The promise of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) technology is to augment human capabilities by enabling interaction with computers through a conscious and spontaneous modulation of the brainwaves after a short training period. Indeed, by analyzing brain ele ...

Sensing clove for brain studies: Design and assessment of its compatibility for fMRI with a robust test

Roger Gassert, Dominique Chapuis

In this paper, we describe a biomimetic-fabric-based sensing glove that can be used to monitor hand posture and gesture. Our device is made of a distributed sensor network of piezoresistive conductive elastomers integrated into an elastic fabric. This solu ...

Actuation Methods for Applications in MR Environments

Hannes Bleuler, Roger Gassert, Dominique Chapuis

The choice of an adequate actuation method is a central issue in the development of any mechatronic device and strongly determines the dynamic performances of the system. This choice is particularly difficult for robotic systems working within a magnetic r ...
