title: Laboratory PC and Mobile Pocket PC Brain-Computer Interface Architectures.
abstract: EEG-based brain-computer interface (BCI) systems convert brain activity into control signals and have been developed for people with severe disabilities to improve their quality of life. A BCI system has to satisfy different demands depending on the application area. A laboratory PC based system allows the flexible design of multiple/single channel feature extraction, classification methods and experimental paradigms. The key advantage of a Pocket PC based BCI approach is its small dimension and battery supply. Hence a mobile BCI system e.g. mounted on a wheelchair can be realized. This study compares and discusses thoroughly the two mentioned approaches.
