April 22, 2022: Dr. Nguyen The Hoang Anh (VKIST-Nacentech Lab, VKIST, MOST), Brain-Computer Interface and its research progress in Vietnam
Brain-computer interface (BCI) is a research topic that has attracted a number of researchers in Computer Science and Neuroscience in Vietnam. BCI enables human users to interact directly with machines and computers via EEG headsets and somehow their thoughts. That way of interaction is essential and effective in circumstances that conventional human-machine interactions fail to do so (e.g. ALS patients). In this talk, the speaker will present the latest research results of ongoing BCI projects such as building a large EEG database for Vietnamese BCI spellers and its applications to a Virtual reality BCI (VR-BCI) for stroke patient rehabilitation and a BCI mechanism to improve eye-tracking based speller. Other BCI research works in Vietnam will be covered to demonstrate the progress and provide audience the large picture of this research topic.
