Description
Design, development and evaluation of a web browser controlled by Brain Computer Interface (BCI) based on P300 oriented to people with severe disability. A BCI system is a communication system that monitors the brain activity collected by electrodes located on the scalp, which controls a device and translates specific characteristics of the signal which reflect the user's intentions in commands of a device. The final purpose of this line of work is an assistive tool for web navigation controlled by the electroencephalogram (EEG) signal to facilitate access / use of the Internet to people with severe motor disability. Specifically, P300 potentials detected from the EEG signal have been used, due to its greater simplicity for users and not requiring an intensive stage of previous training. The system developed allows to interact with the web browser through the following actions: launch a browsing window, access the home page, access and browse all the links on a web page, fill out web forms, etc.Other information

Differentiation in the market:
Novelty
Applicability of technology:
Yes
Companies and markets:
Public health and medical care services. Training, rehabilitation. Mental health
Advantages:
Through a BCI system based on P300 potentials it is possible that people with severe disabilities can surf the Internet thanks to their brain activity. That way, the developed application helps increase the autonomy and privacy of dependent people when surfing the Internet, as it promotes the development / social relationship of people (social networks, real-time information, etc.).
Additional Information:
Project awarded in the Challenge Business University 2015 call. The BCI browser has been successfully evaluated by 16 people selected by the ALEN (Spanish acronym for Association for Brain Injury of León) and the State Reference Center for the Care of Persons with Severe Disability and for Promotion of Personal Autonomy and Care for Dependency (CRE-DyD) of San Andrés de Rabanedo (León).
