    The document describes the NeuroPhone, which uses a wireless EEG headset and iPhone to allow users to control their mobile phone with brain signals. It discusses two modes - a "think" mode where users focus on a contact to call them, and a "wink" mode using left and right winks. The NeuroPhone app was tested using the Emotiv EPOC headset and P300 brain signals. Evaluation found the wink mode worked best when still while think mode accuracy improved with more data collection but was susceptible to external noise.

    NeuroPhone: Brain-Mobile Phone

    Interface using a Wireless EEG Headset


    Source: MobiHeld 2010
    Presented By: Corey Campbell
    INTRODUCTION
    A new way to use the mobile phone
    Design and Evaluation of NeuroPhone.
    EEG headset
    iPhone
    Two different EEG signals to trigger action
    Challenges involved
    BRAIN-MOBILE PHONE INTERFACE
    Mobile apps can be reinvented
    Driving example
    Many-to-One apps
    Teacher Student example
    Possibility of Group Emotional State
    Meeting example
    Happy
    Sad
    Bored
    Hostile
    BRAIN-MOBILE PHONE INTERFACE (cont.)
    Challenges regarding EEG headsets
    Research-grade, hard-wired headsets
    Offer more robust signal
    Very expensive
    Not mobile
    Gaming headsets
    Cost is cheaper
    Encrypted wireless interface
    More noise in signal
    BRAIN-MOBILE PHONE INTERFACE (cont.)
    More challenges
    Mobile phones not designed for continuous neural
    sensing applications
    Streaming neural info wirelessly and phone processing
    Where do we use mobile phones, noisy?
    Filtering out external noises
    NEUROPHONE DESIGN
    App titled Dial Tim
    Think & Wink modes
    Contacts from iPhone address book
    User concentrates on a person to call
    P300 neural signal is the trigger
    Wink mode uses a left or right wink to trigger
    The P300 is subtle compared to a wink


    WHAT IS THE P300?
    Focus on a person to call
    When highlighted by app causes brain to
    produce particular EEG signal
    Positive peak
    300ms latency from onset of stimulus
    Neuroscience uses this as P300
    Other neural signals have potential
    WIRELESS EEG HEADSET
    Emotiv EPOC headset
    14 data-collecting electrodes
    2 reference electrodes
    International 10-20 system config.
    Transmits encrypted data
    Windows-based
    2.4Ghz frequency range
    WIRELESS EEG HEADSET (cont.)
    Can detect facial expressions
    Training then detection of activities
    Push, pull, rotate, lift
    Gyroscope
    Headset not totally reliable
    Challenge to extract finer P300 signals
    Still, it is very useful and cost is cheap to
    deploy on large scale
    DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
    Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR)
    Lots of noise on every electrode
    Bandpass filtering
    Average multiple trials of data
    Signal Processing
    Bandpass filtering
    DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS (cont.)
    Phone Classifiers
    Classification algorithms designed for powerful
    machines
    Algorithms not practical to run on mobile phones
    Power efficiency
    Resource issues
    Resolving issues
    Provide relevant subset of EEG channels
    Use lightweight classifiers
    EVALUATION
    Tested think and wink modes in various
    scenarios
    Sitting, walking, etc
    Wink mode performance
    Declines with really noisy data
    Handles reasonably noisy data well
    EVALUATION (cont.)
    Think mode performance
    Accuracy is higher as more data is averaged
    P300 signals susceptible to external noise
    Sitting still provides best results
    Accuracy declines more when person stands up
    More data accumulation and averaging
    provides better detection accuracies
    EVALUATION (cont.)
    Ongoing work
    Usable P300 data from a single trial
    Find new algorithms to handle extra noise
    iPhone app usage stats
    CPU = 3.3%
    Total memory = 9.40MB
    9.14MB for GUI
    Battery drain
