This book presents compact and informative descriptions of the most
promising new projects in brain-computer interface (BCI) research.
As in earlier volumes in this series, the contributions come from
many of the best-known groups in BCI research. Each of these
chapters provides an overview of a project that was nominated for
the most prestigious award in the BCI community: the Annual BCI
Research Award. The book also contains an introduction and
discussion with a review of major trends reflected in the awards.
This volume also introduces a new type of contribution, namely a
chapter"Trends in BCI Research" that summarizes a top trend in the
BCI research community. This year's "Trends in BCI Research"
addresses BCI technology to help patients with disorders of
consciousness (DOC) and related conditions, including new work that
goes beyond communication to diagnosis and even prediction.
This book describes the prize-winning brain-computer-interface
(BCI) projects honored in the community's most prestigious annual
award. BCIs enable people to communicate and control their limbs
and/or environment using thought processes alone. Research in this
field continues to develop and expand rapidly, with many new ideas,
research groups, and improved technologies having emerged in recent
years. The chapters in this volume feature the newest developments
from many of the best labs worldwide. They present both
non-invasive systems (based on the EEG) and intracortical methods
(based on spikes or ECoG), and numerous innovative applications
that will benefit new user groups
This book reports on the latest research and developments in the
field of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). It introduces ten
outstanding and innovative BCI projects, nominated as finalists for
the BCI award 2012 by a jury of established researchers and
discusses how each of the nominated projects reflects general
worldwide trends in BCI development. At the core of the book, nine
of these ten projects are described in detailed individual
chapters. These include a focused introduction to each project, an
easy to grasp description of the methods and a timely report on the
most recent developments achieved since the submission to the
award. Hence, this book provides a cutting-edge overview of the
newest BCI research trends, from leading experts, in an easy to
read format supported by explanatory pictures, graphs and figures.
This book describes ten of the most promising
brain-computer-interface (BCI) projects to have emerged in recent
years. BCI research is developing quickly, with many new ideas,
research groups, and improved technologies. BCIs enable people to
communicate just by thinking - without any movement at all. Several
different groups have helped severely disabled users communicate
with BCIs, and BCI technology is also being extended to facilitate
recovery from stroke, epilepsy, and other conditions. Each year,
hundreds of the top BCI scientists, engineers, doctors, and other
visionaries compete for the most prestigious honor in the BCI
research community: the annual BCI Award. The 2014 BCI Award
competition was again competitive, with 69 research groups vying
for a nomination. This book summarizes the 2014 BCI Award,
including the ten projects that were nominated, the winner, and
analyses and discussions of the submitted projects and how they
reflect general trends in BCI development. Each of these ten groups
provides a chapter summarizing their nominated project, including
an introduction, description of methods, results, and newer work
completed after the project was submitted. Hence, this book
provides a cutting-edge overview of the newest BCI research trends,
from top groups, in an easy to read format with numerous supporting
pictures, graphs, and figures.

This book provides a cutting-edge overview of the latest
developments in Brain-Computer-Interfaces (BCIs), reported by
leading research groups. As the reader will discover, BCI research
is moving ahead rapidly, with many new ideas, research initiatives,
and improved technologies, e.g. BCIs that enable people to
communicate just by thinking - without any movement at all. Several
different groups are helping severely disabled users communicate
using BCIs, and BCI technology is also being extended to facilitate
recovery from stroke, epilepsy, and other conditions. Each year,
hundreds of the top BCI scientists, engineers, doctors, and other
visionaries compete for the most prestigious honor in the BCI
research community: the annual BCI Award. The 2013 BCI Award
competition was by far the most competitive, with over 160 research
groups vying for a nomination. The chapters of this book summarize
the ten projects that were nominated, in particular the winning
project, and analyses how these reflect general trends in BCI
development. Each project summary includes an introduction,
description of methods, results, and also includes newer work
completed after the project was entered for the competition. The
texts are presented in accessible style with numerous supporting
pictures, graphs, and figures.
Fringe has always been more than the sum of its parts--but its
parts, too, are worth a closer look. The show combines a surfeit of
mad science, some old-school sci-fi flair, and a dash of
strawberry-milkshake whimsy to create the challenging, fascinating
Pattern that keeps us coming back season after season and universe
after universe. Now, in Fringe Science, cutting-edge scientists,
science writers, and science fiction authors and historians provide
a smart, savvy, and accessible look at the world(s) of Fringe. MIT
physics professor Max Tegmark illuminates the real-life
possibilities of parallel universes Stephen Cass, founding editor
of Discover's Science Not Fiction blog and a Senior Editor with
Technology Review, unravels Fringe's use of time travel
Award-winning science fiction historian Amy H. Sturgis walks us
through the show's literary and television ancestors, from the
1800s on Television Without Pity staff writer Jacob Clifton looks
at the role of the scientist, and scientific redemption, through
the ever-shifting role of Massive Dynamic Garth Sundem, bestselling
author of Brain Candy, explores the mysterious way that memory
works, from why Walter forgets to how Olivia remembers And more,
from lab cow Gene's scientific resume to why the Observers should
be wearing white lab coats
