[2022-1] Text-spelling brain-computer interface using split-eye stimulation of the optic nerve

Utilizing VR we are able to stimulate each eye separately (top); We integrate a fully conformal system onto the subject (bottom)

Project Description: A text-speller human-machine interface for individuals with severe motor disability, enabled by novel split-eye asynchronous stimulation by VR headset.

Results:
  • Using a VR headset, we are able to generate complex steady-state stimuli, with separate frequencies for each eye.
  • Using such an interface allows for many classes with high throughput (>240 bits/min)

Role:
  • Conceptualized, planned and managed all aspects of project: designed custom circuits, firmware, software, data processing, machine learning & completed systems integration
  • Devised and studied a new BCI paradigm: split-eye asynchronous stimulus using a VR headset

Skills/Tools used:
  • Project Conception, System Design & Integration
  • AutoCAD (2D design for microfabrication)
  • Electronic design: EEG analog front-end design, Bluetooth LE
  • Firmware development: nRF52832 microcontroller
  • Serial protocols: SPI, I2C
  • Unreal Engine 4.26: Developing stimulus arrays, virtual environments, text speller, and video game interface
  • MATLAB, Python: Data analysis, visualization; preprocessing methods
  • Tensorflow: Designing CNN-based classification scheme
  • Android, Windows: Cross-platform application development for real-time data processing and machine learning
  • Replica molding, PDMS, epoxy processing
