PROJECTS / THESIS TOPICS

3D Advertisement Poster (WebGL): A web-based demo for 3D advertisment display.

Master Thesis Topic (C++ and Qt): Human Computer Interaction via Brainwave Control

    -Study the effect of user interface (UI) elements and human-induced factors on electroencephalography (EEG) signals, proposing a brain-computer interface (BCI) typing system through EEG data retrieved from the wireless Emotiv neuroheadset. Mixing with UI factorial auxiliaries and the T9 keyboard layout, a new input UI was devised in terms of performance of the neuroheadset and input efficiency. Innovative ideas about enhancing training brainwave signals through visual, auditory and motional assistance were proposed. Research was made on possibility of convenient BCI applications through UI elements, anthropic assistance and extra functions auxiliaries based on consumer-EEG device, discovering connections between neural signals and human-induced effects.
