10.05.2010 TOBI update from Graz, Austria

QUALILIFE is pleased to announce our presence at the first TOBI workshop focusing on the emerging challenges of integrating together BCIs with other ATs and physiological signals.

This TOBI workshop is focused on the integration of Brain-Computer Interfaces with Conventional Assistive Technology.

Qualilife has an important role related to the "Communication and Control" application. We are developing practical technology for BCI that will improve the quality of life of disabled people and the effectiveness of rehabilitation. Users will be able to couple brain interaction with muscle-based interaction or can naturally switch between the different ways of interacting. TOBI will broaden the appropriate use of BCI by incorporating adaptive capabilities that augment other ATs.

The first year of TOBI produced initial BCI assistive prototypes, with demonstration in the lab with a small number of users.

Second year will deal with initial BCI assistive technology, using Motor Imagery (MI) and P300 potentials for testing and evaluation (mainly in clinics).
