Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this project, we developed EEG energy and EEG complexity theory and algorithm as fundamental researches of the brain signal processing. We applied the algorithm for the evaluation of consciousness patients, the recognition of brain activity, and for the construction of the BCI system. In order to achieve this project, we have to solve many technique problems such as how to calculate and an evaluate the brain energy and complexity, how to made up the stimulator, how to remove the noise, how to extract and recognize the brain activity, and how to made up the brain-cell-phone interface. The elemental technology in this research, such as the studies of EEG energy and EEG complexity both are the pioneer works in the signal processing field. They can contribute to the development of signal processing filed in deal with brain waves. Next, we made up the brain-controlled cell-phone first time in the world, which will be expected to contribute to the handicapped people in the daily life.
