Short description of project
People with disabilities are challenged every day by barriers to communication and independent living，their use of technology leads the way for all of society. This research focuses on the design and implementation of steady state visual evoked potentials （SSVEP）based brain computer interfaces （BCI），which can provide a new way that does not depend on the brain’s normal output pathways of peripheral nerve and muscles, to communicate and control, by the presence of special patterns in a person’s intention to initiate control, and translating these patterns into meaningful control commands. A generic BCI systems consists of a series of functional components and its effectiveness depends on a number of crucial points covering from signals and recording, signal processing, hardware and software implementation, to clinical issues.
BCI is an attractive，promising and hot research direction; BCI technology may substantially improve the lives of people of people with devastating physical disability.
