BCIs and Mobile Robots for Neurological Rehabilitation: practical applications of remote control

This project aims at testing the possible advantages of introducing a mobile robot as a physical input/output device in a Brain Computer Interface (BCI) system. In the proposed system, the actions triggered by the subject’s brain activity results in the motions of a physical device in the real world, and not only in a modification of a graphical interface. A goal-based system for destination detecting and the high entertainment level offered by controlling a mobile robot are hence main features for actually increase patients' life quality level.
