Abstract

Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) became a very important research topic due to its novel hands-free mode of interaction with the environment. In particular, the field has seen rapid growth due to its potential for offering a new means of control for devices tailored to severely disabled and paralyzed people. Some examples include controlling: the motion of a motorized wheelchair, a semi-autonomous assistive robot, a neuroprosthesis etc..

The proposed online workshop wants to provide an inside of the requested BCI equipment for some applications as mobile robot control, rehabilitation issues (e.g. MindBeagle, RecoveriX), the setup and some experiments which are suitable to be presented online.
