Learning Outcomes

Students know the essential concepts of Brain-Computer Interfacing (BCI). They are capable of applying methods of biomedical signal processing and single-trial classification to neural data. They can provide an interpretation of the outcome of their analysis in a statistical as well as in a neurophysiological manner. They have deeper knowledge about special topics of BCI research, either in data analysis of physiological signals with respect to a technical/ physical background.

Content

IL: Approaches to Brain-Computer Interfacing (BCI); Event-related potentials (ERPs); Spatial filters; Multivariate analysis of brain signals; Single-trial classification of spatio-temporal features; Regularized discriminant analysis (RDA); The linear model (forward and backward) of EEG; Interpretation of spatial patterns and filters; Modulation of spontaneous brain rhythms; Event-related synchronization and desynchronization (ERS, ERD); Common spatial pattern (CSP) Analysis; Classification of spatio-spectral features; Signal decomposistion methods; Supervised and unsupervised methods of adaptation in the classification of EEG; Experimental design Additionally to the IL, participants either take part in the seminar (SE) or in practical sessions (PR). There is also a larger version of the modul, which is called "Brain-Computer Interfacing (extended)" which encompasses the SE and the PR and has 12 LP, and as well a small version called "Brain-Computer Interfacing (bassic)" with 6 LP which consists of the IL only. SE: Examplary topics: Neural correlates of attention in free viewing, Predictors of BCI Performance, Co-adaptive Systems, Control by Spatial Attention; Hybrid BCIs, Multimodal BCIs PR: In the practical session, the technological and physical basics of Brain-Computer Interfacing will be elaborated. It covers the path from the (electrical) activity of single neurons via the volume conduction of the human head and the instrumentation to the computer.

Description of Teaching and Learning Methods

The integrated lecture (IL) consists of a lecture (mainly teacher-centred, with some period of group work) and assignments. The latter require independently solving programming exercises and working on complex tasks under guidance of a tutor. Talks in the seminar (SE) are developed independently with the guidance of a tutor. They are presented and discussed at one or two days in the second half of the semester. The practical session (PR) consist of a lecture and a closely connected exercise session in a weekly exchange. In the exercises, the content of the lecture will be elaborated and they will be graded. --- --- Die integrierte Lehrveranstaltung besteht aus einem Vorlesungsteil (Frontalunterricht vor allen Teilnehmern zur Vermittlung des Stoffes) und einem Anteil praktischer Arbeit. Letztere besteht aus dem selbstständigen Bearbeiten von Übungsaufgaben und der Bearbeitung einer komplexeren Fragestellung unter Anleitung eines Assistenten. Die Seminarvorträge werden unter Anleitung eines Betreuers erarbeitet und in einem Blockseminar in der zweiten Hälfte des Semesters präsentiert und diskutiert. Das Prkatikum besteht aus einer Vorlesung und einer Übung im wöchentlichen Wechsel, wobei der Inhalt der Vorlesung in der eng verknüpften Übung erarbeitet wird. Die Übung wird bewertet.

Requirements for participation and examination

Desirable prerequisites for participation in the courses:

* Required: programming skills; background in mathematics, in particular linear algebra and probability theory. * Helpful, but not obligatory: Basic knowledge in signal processing and machine learning. For the practical session basic knowledge in electrostatics and electronics are of advantage. --- --- Programmierkenntnisse, gute Grundlagen in Mathematik, insbesondere Lineare Algebra und Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie. Grundlagen der Signalverarbeitung und des maschinellen Lernens sind ratsam, jedoch bei solidem theoretischen Vorwissen und Fähigkeiten nicht zwingend erforderlich. Für das Praktikum sind Grundlagen in Elektrostatik und Elektronik vorteilhaft.

Test description (Module completion)

The grade is determined according to § 47 (2) AllgStuPO with the grading system 2 of faculty IV. * Exercises: Concurrent to the lecture, there will be a tutorial in which ten assignment sheets have to be solved.
