Abstract

Brain-Computer interface (BCI) is to enhance human brain's capability in interacting and communicating with the environment directly. BCI plays an important role in natural cognition, which is to study the brain and behavior at work. Human cognitive functions such as perception, attention, situational awareness, and decision making are omnipresent in our daily life activities. For instance, driving is one of the most common attention-demanding tasks in our daily routine. When drivers lost their attention, they had appreciably reduced the perception, recognition and vehicle control abilities. Hence, how to effectively prevent and enhance the human cognitive functions has become a very important issue. Recently, many investigators had developed novel algorithms based on computational intelligence (CI) technologies to monitor, maintain, or track the human cognitive states and operating performance. In this lecture, I shall introduce the fundamental physiological changes of the human cognitive functions at work first and then explain how to utilize these main Bio-findings and CI techniques (Bio-CI) to develop the monitoring and feedback systems. We shall also introduce the real-life applications of BCI on various aspects including clinics, homecare, personnel training, or even computer gaming.
