Yup. Weirdness runs in our family. She and her co-makers will take it to Burning Man, but the bigger plan is to take it around to schools after the festival, "to get kids excited about science, technology and fabrication. " Stytsenko. - Introduction - Acquiring an EEG system can be a costly issue, thus it would be a great advantage having a fairly cheap EEG device that delivers data of similar quality.

The topic of this project was the evaluation of the Emotiv EPOC [1] consumer EEG device and the further investigation about possible scientific research application by the means of measuring reliability and validity of the acquired EEG data compared to a conventional EEG system. Emotiv EPOC is a consumer BCI based on EEG technology and priced at 750$, making it much more affordable compared to ordinary EEG systems which could easily cost a multiple. It offers 14 electrodes mounted on a wireless headset, which is effortlessly set up and connected to a computer. Initially it was introduced for PC gaming, but the research edition enables access to raw data for further analysis.

Surfing the internet with a BCI mouse.

" In this paper, we present a new web browser based on a two-dimensional (2D) brain-computer interface (BCI) mouse, where our major concern is the selection of an intended target in a multi-target web page. A real-world web page may contain tens or even hundreds of targets, including hyperlinks, input elements, buttons, etc. In this case, a target filter designed in our system can be used to exclude most of those targets of no interest.

Specifically, the user filters the targets of no interest out by inputting keywords with a P300-based speller, while keeps those containing the keywords. Such filtering largely facilitates the target selection task based on our BCI mouse.

This paper proposes the use of variational Kalman filtering as an inference technique for adaptive classification in a brain computer interface (BCI).

Adaptive BCI based on variational Bayesian Kalman filtering: an empirical evaluation

The proposed algorithm translates electroencephalogram segments adaptively into probabilities of cognitive states. It, thus, allows for nonstationarities in the joint process over cognitive state and generated EEG which may occur during a consecutive number of trials. Nonstationarities may have technical reasons (e.g., changes in impedance between scalp and electrodes) or be caused by learning effects in subjects. We compare the performance of the proposed method against an equivalent static classifier by estimating the generalization accuracy and the bit rate of the BCI.

Using data from two studies with healthy subjects, we conclude that adaptive classification significantly improves BCI performance.

Alzheimer disease Electroencephalography (EEG) is the only clinical diagnostic instrument that directly reflects cortical neuronal functioning.

EEG in Dementia and Encephalopathy

Although the EEG may be normal or minimally disturbed in a number of patients in the initial stages of Alzheimer disease (AD), an abnormal EEG usually is recorded later in the course. A large percentage of patients with moderately severe to severe AD exhibit abnormal EEGs. Thus, patients with AD may have an impairment of interhemispheric functional connectivity in both nonstimulus and stimulus conditions, which suggests a failure of normal stimulation-related brain activation in AD. The alpha coherence decrease could be related to alterations in corticocortical connectionsThe delta coherence increase suggests lack of influence of subcortical cholinergic structures on cortical electrical activity Epileptiform activity may occur more frequently in patients with AD than in the general population; clinical tonic-clonic seizures can occur.
