Speaker
Description
Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) enable people to control physical devices and to communicate with others by using their mind only. This is possible because the electrical activity of the brain, recorded with an electroencephalograph (EEG), can be decoded with sophisticated algorithms.
The BCI field is currently experiencing a momentum, attracting both researchers and hackers. At the same time, a growing number of people rely on the thriving Python datascience and machine learning ecosystem. Yet, until recently, there was no fully open source Python framework for building BCIs. Timeflux (https://timeflux.io) aims to fill this gap.
Attendees will learn what can BCIs be used for, how they actually work, what are the core concepts driving Timeflux, how to describe processing pipelines, how to create interfaces available from a web browser, and how to easily implement their own algorithms for both offline and online use. We will conclude with a practical example: a mind-controlled virtual keyboard.
Session author's bio
Pierre Clisson (https://clisson.com) wears many hats. He is a freelance engineer and consultant, active in the fields of IT security and artificial intelligence, as well as software and web development. He is also a meditation and lucid dreaming teacher, and a digital artist working with biosignals. A few years ago, all these interests converged on the creation of Timeflux, an open-source framework for building Brain-Computer Interfaces.
