Electroencephalogram(EEG) is one of the most common used approach for BCI due to the convenience and non-invasive implement. Therefore, more and more BCIs have been designed for the disabled people that suffer from stroke or spinal cord injury to help them for rehabilitation and life. We introduce the common BCI paradigms, the signal processing, and feature extraction methods. Then, we survey the different combined modes of hybrids BCIs and review the design of the synchronous/asynchronous BCIs.Finally, the shared control methods are discussed.展开更多

One way to increment this number without increasing the mental effort required to operate the system is to stimulate several sensory modalities simultaneously, and to distinguish brain activity patterns when the user focuses attention to different elements of this multisensory input. In this article we show how shifting attention between simultaneously presented tactile and visual stimuli affects the electrical brain activity of human subjects, and that this signal can be used to augment the control information from the two uni-modal BCI subsystems.展开更多
