g.tec’s brain-computer interface (BCI) workshop

Christoph Guger, PhD – g.tec medical engineering GmbH
Dean Krusienski, PhD – Virginia Commonwealth University

 Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) provide a direct connection from the human brain to a computer. Dr. Christoph Guger will discuss how BCIs translate brain activity into control signals for numerous applications, including tools to help severely disabled users communicate and improve their quality of life. BCIs have been used to restore movement, assess cognitive functioning, map functions of the brain and provide communication and environmental control. Learn how to record ultra-high density EEG with 1024 EEG electrodes on the human scalp, how to use the Unicorn brain-interface and how to setup neuromodulation experiments. Dr. Dean Krusienski will demonstrate how to use ECoG signals to decode speech.

recoveriX & mindBEAGLE workshop

Christoph Guger, PhD – g.tec medical engineering GmbH

Dr. Christoph Guger will talk about BCI systems for the rehabilitation of neurological patients and how to assess brain functions in patients with disorders of consciousness. The cutting edge technology used in these systems have made them the first of their kind. Learn how upper and lower limbs of stroke patients are treated to reach highly significant improvements even many years after the stroke and how to test objectively command following in DOC patients.
