Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study is a challenge to realize a scanning communication aid operated by electroencephalogram (EEG), for the sake of providing a medium for locked-in patients to express their own words. To seek the possibility of taking advantages of spontaneous EEGs such as alpha wave or motor imagery-related EEGs, a number of EEG data were collected for a tremendous combinations of EEG sensors, tasks, and methods of analysys. Although a certain level of improvement was obtained, it was not enough to enable realistic scanning communication.
