An EEG and fTCD based BCI for control

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) promise to promote a novel access channel for functional independence for individuals with severe speech and physical impairment (SSPI) that can occur as a result of numerous neurological diseases and injuries. Current BCI systems lack the robustness and accuracy to allow individuals with SSPI to complete tasks required for independent living (e.g. communication or navigation). We aim to develop a noninvasive hybrid BCI relying on two imaging modalities: Electroencephalography (EEG) and functional transcranial Doppler sonography (fTCD). Such hybrid BCI is expected to be sufficiently robust and accurate to be operated in a real-life environment.
