Multimodal Brain Computer Interface for Telepresence Robot Control

Program:

Biomedical Engineering

Project Description:

We have designed an EMG+EEG (SSVEP) non-invasive BCI system to allow subjects with quadriplegia (paralysis from the neck down) to control a telepresence robot with a moving camera, enabling the subject to freely explore the world while being in the safety of their homes.

The system is designed to have low latency and high decoding accuracy. At the current stage, we have successfully developed the system with EMG input, and we are on the way to incorporate EEG (SSVEP) input into the system.
