Aim

Demonstrate understanding in signal processing and applications for different types of brain computer interfaces, with focus towards EEG.

Goals

Knowledge and Understanding

For a passing grade the doctoral student must Demonstrate understanding of the most commonly used BCI paradigms and how basic types of signal processing and machine learning can be applied to those paradigms, here with a focus towards EEG-based BCI systems.

Competences and Skills

For a passing grade the doctoral student must Master tools from existing Python packages such as MNE python, pyriemann, sklearn, and timeflux, to process, analyze, and/or visualize EEG-data using techniques covered in the course.

Judgement and Approach

For a passing grade the doctoral student must Demonstrate understanding of the limitations of different types of BCI paradigms and commonly used methods for signal processing of such paradigms, and be able to organize and select material for discussion seminars.

Course Contents

Different techniques for recording of brain activity (EEG, fMRI, invasive, non-invasive), event-related potentials (ERP), motor imagery/sensorimotor rhythms (MI/SMR), Steady-State Evoked Potentials (SSxEP), feature extraction, linear discriminant analysis (LDA), common spatial patterns (CSP), Riemannian geometry (RG), bayesian learning (BL), transfer learning (TF), BCI calibration.
