Detecting intention to grasp during reaching movements from EEG

Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Robert Leeb, Inaki Asier Iturrate Gil, Luca Randazzo

Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) have been shown to be a promising tool in rehabilitation and assistive scenarios. Within these contexts, brain signals can be decoded and used as commands for a robotic device, allowing to translate user’s intentions into mo ...

Teaching brain-machine interfaces as an alternative paradigm to neuroprosthetics control

Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Inaki Asier Iturrate Gil

Brain-machine interfaces (BMI) usually decode movement parameters from cortical activity to control neuroprostheses. This requires subjects to learn to modulate their brain activity to convey all necessary information, thus imposing natural limits on the c ...

Brain Correlates of Lane Changing Reaction Time in Simulated Driving

Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Lucian Andrei Gheorghe, Huaijian Zhang

Psychophysical studies have reported correlation between neural activity in frontal and parietal areas and subject's reaction time in simple tasks. Here we study whether similar correlates can also be identified in driver's electroencephalography (EEG) act ...

Towards Independence: A BCI Telepresence Robot for People with Severe Motor Disabilities

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Luca Tonin, Robert Leeb, Tom Edward Carlson

This paper presents an important step forward towards increasing the independence of people with severe motor disabilities, by using brain-computer interfaces (BCI) to harness the power of the Internet of Things. We analyze the stability of brain signals a ...

Discriminant Brain Connectivity Patterns of Performance Monitoring at Average and Single-Trial Levels

Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Huaijian Zhang

Electrophysiological and neuroimaging evidence suggest the existence of common mechanisms for monitoring erroneous events, independent of the source of errors. Previous works have described modulations of theta activity in the medial frontal cortex elicite ...

Quantifying electrode reliability during Brain-Computer Interface operation

Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Hesam Sagha, Serafeim Perdikis

One of the problems of non-invasive Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) applications is the occurrence of anomalous (unexpected) signals that might degrade BCI performance. This situation might slip the operator’s attention since raw signals are not usually con ...

Decoding Fast-Paced Error-Related Potentials in Monitoring Protocols

Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Inaki Asier Iturrate Gil, Quentin Olivier Pierre Wannebroucq

Error-related EEG potentials (ErrP) can be used for brain-machine interfacing (BMI). Decoding of these signals, indicating subject's perception of erroneous system decisions or actions can be used to correct these actions or to improve the overall interfac ...

Towards non-invasive hybrid brain-computer interfaces: Framework, practice, clinical application and beyond

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Robert Leeb

In their early days, BCIs were only considered as control channel for end users with severe motor impairments such as people in the locked-in state. But, thanks to the multidisciplinary progress achieved over the last decade, the range of BCI applications ...

Modulation of the inter-hemispheric asymmetry of motor-related brain activity using brain-computer interfaces

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Michael Eric Anthony Pereira, Aleksander Sobolewski

Non-invasive brain stimulation has shown promis- ing results in neurorehabilitation for motor-impaired stroke patients, by rebalancing the relative involvement of each hemisphere in movement generation. Similarly, brain-computer interfaces have been used t ...

Brain-Machine Interfaces: The Perception-Action Closed Loop

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz

A brain-machine interface (BMI) is about transforming neural activity into action and sensation into perception (Figure 1). In a BMI system, neural signals recorded from the brain are fed into a decoding algorithm that translates these signals into motor o ...

EEG correlates of active visual search during simulated driving: An exploratory study

Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Hadrien Marc Renold, Lucian Andrei Gheorghe

Brain responses to visual stimuli can provide information about visual recognition processes. Several studies have shown stimulus-dependent modulation of the evoked neural responses after gaze shifts (i.e. eye fixation related potentials, EFRP) depending o ...
