Status: Completed
General Objective: This training aims to train qualified personnel in the field of
brain-computer interfaces with a focus on neurorehabilitation. Theoretical and practical concepts related to brain functioning, electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, types of EEG electrodes, methods for acquiring the EEG, and artifacts and filtering methods will be addressed. Next, a presentation will be made on potentials related to events and movements, and desynchronization and synchronization related to events. The concepts of brain-computer interfaces, their applications and challenges will be explained, their use in neurorehabilitation systems will be detailed and details of how to plan research projects around this topic will be described, in which the design of protocols and its approval by Ethics Committees. The practical part will include teaching the use of a cap with EEG electrodes, how to acquire brain signals, and how to build a brain-computer interface for a specific application.
