Some scientific papers mentioning me and Brain-Computer Interface

I had involved in Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) research for 2 years. The research was done while studying in the University of Bremen. Now I have got M.Sc. degree in Information and Automation Engineering. After the end of my master study, there have been one master thesis, one master project report and 2 scientific papers related to BCI and me.

The master project report
Title: Final Preparation of the CeBit Data
author: Ignatius Sapto Condro Atmawan (That's me!)
supervisors: Prof. Dr.-Ing Axel Gräser & Dr.-Ing Ivan Volosyak
year: 2009
place: Institute für Automatissierungstechnik (IAT), Universität Bremen, Bremen, Germany
about:
The master project is mainly about EEG data format in the IAT. The BrainRobot group from the IAT conducted experiments about steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEP) in CeBit 2008, Hannover and RehaCare 2008, Düsseldorf, Germany. Both experiments used different data formats. The project report mentions other alternatives of data format which have already been international standards or at least european ones: GDF, EDF, BDF and BKR.

Other data format which are not mentioned in the report can be found here:

The Master Thesis
Title: Improvement of Response Time in SSVEP-based Brain-Computer Interface
author: Ignatius Sapto Condro Atmawan Bisawarna (That's me!)
supervisors: Prof. Dr.-Ing Axel Gräser, Dr.-Ing Ivan Volosyak & Thorsten Lüth, Dipl.-Ing.
year: 2010
place: Institute für Automatissierungstechnik (IAT), Universität Bremen, Bremen, Germany
This master thesis is about how to make SSVEP-based BCI in the IAT faster (but with less error). A few time series prediction algorithms are then used. There were simulation with MATLAB, programming with C++, using BCI2000 platform and doing EEG experiments with human subjects. In the end, the proposed algorithms to help IAT system detect SSVEP faster are Regression method and Kalman Filter.

I hope someday I can be an author in IEEE Transactions, especially the first author.

  1. I’m very surprised to know that connecting the brain and the machines is already made possible. I expect that if we can connect brains to machines, that is, brain’s actions can be converted to electrical data, someday we ourselves can become digital data and live in cyberspace though now it sounds like a science fictional dream.

    1. Emotiv is an interesting company. I hope it can continue developing brain signal apps.
