摘要：
A brain computer interface as an alternative communication channel to be used in various applications, such as robotics. In one embodiment of the invention, there is provided a process for the analysis and conversion of EEG signals obtained from the brain into movement commands through electric and/or mechanical devices. The process of the present invention provides substantial advantages over the similar systems/techniques known in the art, such as a 91% average hit rate, obtained in attempts to control a mobile robot. In other embodiment of the invention, there is provided an apparatus comprising: means for obtaining brain signals； an electroencephalograph (EEG)； and means for transducing said signals into functional commands useful in several applications. Said means for transducing mental signals is the core of the invention and provides a number of technical advantages over the similar systems/techniques known in the art of identifying mental activities.
