Abstract
Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs) allow direct communication between the human brain and external devices through the processing and interpretation of brain signals. Indeed, BCI represents the ultimate achievement in human-machine interaction, eliminating all the intermediate physical steps between the intention of an action and its implementation. Electroencephalography (EEG) plays a key role in BCIs being the least invasive technique for capturing brain electrical activity. However, high performance devices turn out to be uncomfortable and of unpractical use outside dedicated facilities, mainly due to the use of many electrodes. Conversely, single-channel EEG devices made of fewer electrodes provide weak and noisy signals difficult to interpret. In this PhD thesis, a portable BCI prototype enhanced by machine learning techniques for the classification of brain signals — and in particular of Steady State Visual Evoked Potentials (SSVEPs) — is proposed. The current study embraces the design, realization, characterization, and optimization of a BCI built on top of a cost-effective single-channel EEG device. The results have been validated both in offline and online sessions thanks to the collaboration of volunteers equipped with the given prototype. Due to its usability, the proposed framework may broaden the range of state-of-the-art BCI applications.
