In this paper we present a P300-hased Brain Computer Interface (BCI) for the remote control of a mechatronic actuator, such as wheelchair, or even a car, driven by EEG signals to be used hy tetraplegic and paralytic users or just for safe drive in case of car. The P300 signal, an Evoked Related Potential (ERP) devoted to the cognitive brain activity, is induced for purpose by visual stimulation. The...
A mobile-health solution for neuro-cognitive impairment monitoring based on P300 spatio-temporal characterization achieved by tuned Residue Iteration Decomposition (t-RIDE) is here presented. It allows remote monitoring of neuro-cognitive impairment through a domestic game-test by physician which can interact with it. Data collection is allowed by cloud bridging. It has been validated on 10 subjects:...
In this paper an improved design of an RFID powered swallowable barometric endoradiosonde (ERS) is presented. The ERS consists of a micro fabricated capacitive sensor printed in gold on Polycaprolactone (PCL) on which a transponder chip design in 0.35μm AMS technology is in-plane bounded to the PCL substrate. The implantable or inside the body, transponder (tag) is powered by the external reader at...
We propose a novel approach that integrates wireless, non-invasive devices with fast, real-time algorithms for large data analysis and biofeedback reaction, to discern the voluntariness of human movement through direct sensing of brain potentials combined with muscular action signal monitoring. The system has been tested in real situations.
The brain signal anticipates the voluntary movement with patterns that can be detected even 500ms before the occurrence. This paper presents a digital signal processing unit which implements a real-time algorithm for falling risk prediction. The system architecture is designed to operate with digitized data samples from 8 EMG (limbs) and 8 EEG (motor-cortex) channels and, through their combining,...
Voluntary movements are managed by movement related potentials (MRPs) which are brain activity patterns detectable even 500ms before the movement itself. The cortico-muscular matching between brain (EEG) and muscles (EMG) activity allows the assessment of the intentionality of the performed movement. Basing on this knowledge, a real-time algorithm for falling risk prediction based on EMG/EEG coupled...
This position paper aims to support a control technique in the perishables goods supply-chain through a combination of near real-time wireless sensor network (WSN) for environmental monitoring and further data processing to predict the shelf life of the product. This approach returns a low cost, versatile and efficient tool that can significantly improve the safety and food certification through the...
The subject of the present work is the design, the testing and the implementation of a biodegradable and biocompatible pressure sensor that can be swallowed or implanted in the human body. It has to be biodegradable, at least in part, biocompatible and small in the size. The biodegradable polymer used (Polycaprolactone, PCL) and the technique of printing gold (200–400 nm thick) on it have played a...
