A UPCT thesis develops a system for controlling prostheses and devices through thought (01/07/2013)

Check with the thought Prosthetic arms or legs that allow an individual getting is possible thanks to an effective system developed by researchers at the University Center for the Defense (CUD) in the General Air Academy (AGA).

The work has been developed in the thesis, entitled "Brain Computer Interface System user-centered", has defended Bermudez Germán Rodríguez, professor at the Centre, and has been co-directed by Joaquín Roca and Pedro J. Dorda

Laencina Garcia, director and professor of the CUD, respectively.

The applications offered by this emerging technology are manifold, and the sector ranging from clinical to the security and defense industry.

The new system can be applied to prosthetic hands, arms or legs in bipidestación and running, among others, explains Rock Dorda.

It also can be used in machine control applications where it is necessary to have both hands occupied simultaneously.

Another application, designed to empower older people and quadriplegics, has to do with home automation control.

Joaquín Roca claims that the new system is a highly effective algorithm that significantly reduces the training time required by users.

The directors of the thesis indicate that the goal has been to make a system that is specifically tailored to each user to get work more efficient with a lower error rate, and consequently requiring less effort in the early design stage .

To do this, we have developed signal processing algoritmosinteligentes with very low computational costs, explains García-Laencina.

The results of this thesis, European Quality Label, have been published in journals and conferences of a prestigious researcher, as "International Journal of Neural Systems" which is located between the top five international journals in the area of ​​Artificial Intelligence.
