Brain Computer Interface

 

g.Nautilus Brain Computer Interface

Beyond the technological prowess that represents the possibility of driving an object by thought, one of our main objective is to give the possibility to people with major disabilities to regain some autonomy. We use a Brain Computer Interface (BCI) to achieve this goal. The BCI is a system to communicate only by brain’s activity means. We use a g.Nautilus device developed by g.tec company (see Figure 2.1). This tiny and lightweight device is attached to EEG cap to avoid cable movements and to allow completely free movements. It is formed by 32 dry electrodes connected to a computer with wireless EEG kit. Figure 2.2 shows the location of the g.Nautilus’s electrodes.
