Design of a vegetative patient communication system based on steady-state visual evoked potentials

Revolutionizing patient interaction with advanced non-invasive EEG techniques for better communication.

Innovative Communication Through EEG Technology

We specialize in non-invasive EEG techniques for data collection, enabling communication for patients in vegetative states through advanced signal interpretation and user-friendly interfaces.

A medical monitor displays various vital signs and readings, including an ECG line showing heart activity, numbers indicating SPO2 levels, and blood pressure. The screen is prominently labeled with 'DEMO', and the monitor is manufactured by Mindray.

System Development

Designing systems to detect and interpret SSVEP signals for basic communication and command execution.

A person is applying a black knee brace to another person's leg, which is resting on a pillow. The person is also holding a handheld electronic device with a small screen displaying some controls and information, likely related to therapy or treatment.

A pair of virtual reality goggles rests on a bright blue surface in an outdoor setting. In the background, there is a bench and a blurred view of trees under a cloudy sky.

Signal Detection

Interpreting SSVEP signals for basic communication needs.

A person with short brown hair is wearing black virtual reality goggles with antennas, looking upwards. The setting appears to be outdoors on a sunny day, with a blurry background of what may be grass or a path.

User Interface

Intuitive design for caregivers and medical professionals' interaction.

Several people wearing white lab coats engage with virtual reality headsets in a lab setting. Anatomical models and skeletons can be seen in the background, indicating an educational environment focused on anatomy. The individuals appear to be interacting with VR controllers, possibly simulating medical training or anatomical study.

Clinical Trials

Evaluating system accuracy, reliability, and usability in practice.
