Welcome to CSE 599E

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI)

Spring 2006

Rajesh Rao (Instructor)

with

Pradeep Shenoy (TA)

MW 12:00-1:20pm in MGH 288


Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) attempt to use signals generated by the brain to directly control objects such as a cursor on a computer screen or a robotic arm. In this course, we will seek to go beyond the recent media hype about BCIs to achieve an in-depth understanding of what current BCI systems can and cannot do.

We will explore BCI research along several dimensions including: input signals (invasive versus non- invasive recording techniques), feature extraction methods (spectral, wavelet, etc.), machine learning for BCI (classification, regression, tracking, etc.), and BCI applications (cursor control, word speller, robotic arm control, etc.). The course will include a mix of lectures, invited speakers, and discussion of research papers.
