Outline of Final Research Achievements

Target of this research is the development of auditory BMI with few electrodes.
The subjects were asked to answer the question from auditory que by yes/no thinking.
EEG data was recorded and analysed. As the result, The EEG data from healthy subjects was correctly discriminated in 68.3%. The EEG data from ALS patient was correctly discriminated in 70.0%.
