Brain–Computer Interface for Chinese Character Input

A research team led by Prof. William Wang Shi-yuan, Wei Lun Research Professor in the Department of Electronic Engineering at CUHK, has developed a prototype assistive communication Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) system called the P300 Chinese Speller to assist the substantial minority in our society who suffer from paralysis to communicate with others by inputting Chinese characters by measuring their brain waves.

Additional future applications are anticipated, including operation of household appliances (e.g. BCI-operated lighting, and air conditioning) and entertainment (e.g. BCI-enhanced software and games).
