Development of a modular product-architecture for wearable EEG headsets (Ctrl-Mind). University of Antwerp
Combined EEG - Eye Tracking System Ghent University
Electroencephalography (EEG) and eye tracking are both core research methods in our department. The combination of EEG and eye tracking is very promising because it allows studying brain potentials under more natural circumstances using highly complementary methods. This combination is difficult to attain on our current, heavily used systems. We therefore apply for a combined brain potential – eye tracking system.
Probabilistic decoding of EEG potentials evoked by word associations Ghent University
To develop a method for automatic detection of N400 with the goal of determining association strengths between words. We will record N400 while subjects watch pairs of words with manipulated association strengths. Semantic networks will be constructed on the basis of these EEG potentials and will be compared with networks obtained on the basis of behavioral measures
Cochlear Implant Artifact Suppression in EEG Measurements KU Leuven
Cochlear implants (CIs) aim to restore hearing in severely to profoundly deaf adults, children and infants. Electrically evoked auditory steady-state responses (EASSRs) are neural responses to continuous modulated pulse trains, and can be objectively detected at the modulation frequency in the electro-encephalogram (EEG). EASSRs provide a number of advantages over other objective measures, because frequency-specific stimuli are used, because ...
Measuring cognitive activity via EEG and eye tracking during language processing Ghent University
The psycholinguistic nature of many research lines in linguistics, translation, and experimental psychology requires systems that measure the cognitive processes underlying the use of (multiple) languages. Such equipment is very valuable and much on demand, as is clear from the number of researchers that would like to employ the combination of EEG and eye tracking. Various research goals are envisaged, such as the creation of freely available ...
Validation of language related EEG algorithm for aphasia rehabilitation (Neurolap) Ghent University
After a stroke, the affected brain functions can be neurally reorganized (neuroplasticity) during rehabilitation. Focusing on language functions (i.e. phonology, semantics and grammar), the diagnosis and follow-up of aphasia currently occurs with ‘pencil-and-paper tasks’ which lack a direct mapping of neuroplasticity. The implementation of a linguistic electro-encephalographic (EEG) registration during the diagnostic (re-)evaluation of ...
Deep learning for EEG and audio processing in neuro-steered hearing aids KU Leuven
The healthy human auditory system is able to attend to a particular speaker of interest in a multi-speaker scenario. Current hearing aids, however, cannot sufficiently mimic this ability, possibly leading to far-reaching consequences for hearing impaired people, such as social isolation. For effective noise suppression and correct speaker amplification, it is crucial to detect which speaker of multiple speakers should be attended to. By ...
From perceptual categorization to abstraction: unique perspectives from research with FPVS EEG in individuals with and without autism. KU Leuven
Categorization - the ability to group things according to a common characteristic - and generalization - the transfer (of categorization) from one situation to new instances and novel situations - are essential to function efficiently in daily life. The ability to perceive differences and to discriminate, presents the counterpart of categorization and generalization. These perceptual processes determine how people organize their world and ...
EEG everywhere and always: design of signal processing algorithms for high-density mobile electroencephalography KU Leuven
The project aims at designing novel multi-channel algorithms for several EEG signal processing tasks, using a state-of-the-art mobile high-density EEG headset with dry electrodes. The results are relevant for future mobile brain-computer interfaces.
