Brain Computer Interfaces And Emotional Involvement Theory Research And Applications

Brain Computer Interfaces and Emotional Involvement

This reprint is dedicated to the study of brain activity related to emotional and attentional involvement as measured by Brain-computer interface (BCI) systems designed for different purposes. A BCI system can translate brain signals (e.g., electric or hemodynamic brain activity indicators) into a command to execute an action in the BCI application (e.g., a wheelchair, the cursor on the screen, a spelling device or a game). These tools have the advantage of having real-time access to the ongoing brain activity of the individual, which can provide insight into the user's emotional and attentional states by training a classification algorithm to recognize mental states. The success of BCI systems in contemporary neuroscientific research relies on the fact that they allow one to "think outside the lab". The integration of technological solutions, artificial intelligence and cognitive science allowed and will allow researchers to envision more and more applications for the future. The clinical and everyday uses are described with the aim to invite readers to open their minds to imagine potential further developments.

Artificial Intelligence Applications for Brain–Computer Interfaces

Artificial Intelligence Applications for Brain-Computer Interfaces focuses on the advancements, challenges, and prospects of future technologies involving noninvasive brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). It includes the processing and analysis of multimodal signals, integrated computation-acquisition devices, and implantable neuro techniques. This book not only provides cross-disciplinary research in BCI but also presents divergent applications on telerehabilitation, emotion recognition, neuro-rehabilitation, cognitive workload assessments, and ambient assisted living solutions. In 15 chapters, this book describes how BCIs connect the brain with external devices like computers and electronic gadgets. It analyzes the neural signals from the brain to obtain insights from the brain patterns using multiple noninvasive wearable sensors. It gives insight into how sensor outcomes are processed through machine-intelligent models to draw inferences. Each chapter starts with the importance, problem statement, and motivation. A description of the proposed methodology is provided, and related works are also presented. Each chapter can be read independently, and therefore, the book is a valuable resource for researchers, health professionals, postgraduate students, postdoc researchers, and academicians in the fields of BCI, prosthesis, computer vision, and mental state estimation, and all those who wish to broaden their knowledge in the allied field. - Focuses on the advancements, challenges, and prospects for future technologies over noninvasive brain computer interfaces (BCIs), including the processing and analysis of multimodal signals, integrated calculation-acquisition devices, and implantable technologies. - Presents theories, algorithms, realizations, applications, approaches, and challenges that will have their impact and contribution in the design and development of modern and effective BCIs. - Assists in understanding the predominance of BCI technology in various applications.
