Human/Brain Machine Interface.

Catalog description

Human/Brain Machine interface (HMI/BMI) is a direct communication pathway between human signals such as heart activity, electro dermal activity, and brain with an external device. Bioelectrical activity can be employed directly to provide information or predict the human alertness, stress level, health or control external devices such as an external keyboard and robotic arm. This topic includes the physiology of generation of human vital signals, designing interface device, and developing offline and real-time computational algorithms for controlling external devices. Prerequisites: ENGR 19 or COMP 51 or COMP 61 with a “C-“ or better; Graduate or blended students in the School of Engineering and Computer Science or permission of the instructor.
