Research Areas

The Noninvasive BMI Unit investigates and develops tools and software for analysis, extraction, enhancement, de-noising, detection, localization, recognition and classification of brain signals and patterns, especially measured by high density array EEG and EMG systems.
We are actually developing multi-command on-line BMI platforms and a system for estimating some mental states.

Research Subject

  1. Nonivasive Brain Machine Interface, affective BMI
  2. Estimation of human emotions ussing EEG and NIRS
  3. Multiway array (tensor) decompositions for brain data
  4. Evaluation of coognitive impairment of elderly drivers
  5. Reahabilitaion using hyperscanning and brain to brain interface
