Brain Computer Interface-based Multimedia Controller

Abstract

Music is a way of expressing our feelings and emotions in daily life. Suitable music can affect people in a positive way. However, current multimedia control methods, such as manual selection or automatic random mechanism which is now applied broadly in MP3 and CD player, cannot adaptively select suitable music according to the user's state. In this study, we proposed a novel brain computer interface (BCI)-based multimedia controller to help people to select suitable music according their cognitive states. In our system, a multimedia control MIDlet program built in the mobile phone was developed to recognize the user's cognitive state and select suitable music according his/ her cognitive state. A wireless multi-channel electroencephalograph (EEG) acquisition module was also designed for monitoring the user's EEG. By the property of selecting suitable music type according to the user's cognitive state, our BCI-based mobile multimedia controller provides a novel prototype of multimedia controller.

Human Computer Interaction Feedback Based-On Data Visualization Using MVAR and NN

“…Indeed, BCI is defined as a HCI that does not depend on the brain's normal output pathways of peripheral nerves and muscles [7], but that directly relies on bio-electrical signals, which are generated by mental activities, to action IT features on computers [8], machines [9], smartphones [10], or robots [11], leading to a mind-based communication system [12].…”

A Brain Computer Interface–Based P300 Speller for Home Appliances Control System

“…Some limited research BCI-based P300 Speller home appliances control system like row column-based speller (RC) [10,11], and region-based paradigm [12], Hoffman approach has been already implemented. Some researchers gave an idea about single and multiple appliances control through different approaches like Bluetooth, Arduino, infrared, web server, and microcontroller, for light [13], door [14], fan [15], music [16], buzzer [17] air conditioner [18], and multiple (fan, tv, blub, door etc.). In this paper, we designed a P300-based BCI home appliances control system.…”
