Brain-Computer Interfaces: An Introduction
Abstract :

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) use signals generated by the brain to directly control objects such as a cursor on a computer screen or a robot.
This mini-course will provide an introduction to current state-of-the-art in this emerging field that lies at the intersection of neuroscience,
information technology, and robotics. We will seek to go beyond the recent media hype about BCIs to achieve an in-depth understanding of what current
BCI systems can and cannot do. The course will explore BCI research along several dimensions including: input signals (invasive versus non -
invasive recording techniques), feature extraction methods (spectral, wavelet, etc.), machine learning for BCI (classification, regression,
etc.), and BCI applications (cursor control, word speller, robotic arm control, etc.).No prior knowledge of neuroscience or machine learning is
required to attend this course.
