Title: Aperiodic visual stimulation in a VEP-based BCI
Description: Visual-evoked potentials (VEPs) are a possible way to drive the a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). This projects aims at maximizing the discrimination between different stimuli by using numerical codes derived from techniques of digital telecommunications.

Title: Creation of new EEG training by introduction of noise
Description: A Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) must be trained on the individual user in order to be effective. This training phase require recording data in long sessions, which is time consuming and boring for the user. The aim of this project is to develop algorithm to create new training EEG (electroencephalography) data from existing ones, so as to speed up the training phase.

Title: Exploratory data analysis by genetic feature extraction
Description: Understanding the waves in EEG signals is an hard task and psicologists often need automatic tools to perform this task. In this project we are interested in using a genetic algorithm developed for P300 feature extraction in order to extract useful informations from Error Potentials. The project is a collaboration with the psicology department od Padua University.

Title: Real-time removal of ocular artifact from EEG
Description: In a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) based on electroencephalogram (EEG), one of the most important sources of noise is related to ocular movements. Algorithms have been devised to cancel the effect of such artifacts. The project consists in the in the implementation in real time of an existing algorithm (or one newly developed) in order to improve the performance of a BCI.
