Applications are invited for Postdoctoral Position at IIT Gandhinagar (Human Computer Interaction) for the year 2023. The last date of application is 31 July.
Project Description
Non-invasive brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and eye-tracking technologies have the potential to create new communication pathways for both healthy and disabled individuals. However, existing BCI systems have not yet achieved high enough performance to be widely used in practical applications. This may be addressed by a novel hybrid BCI user interface that combines BCI and gaze modalities, enabling users to make sequential decisions quickly and accurately with minimal effort.
The first phase of this project aims to develop a proof-of-concept for a multimodal graphical user interface that maintains consistent positions of command objects for different modalities. In the second phase, we will design a system that integrates gaze and BCI (MI, SSVEP, P300 signals) to enable target selection using the same interface for multiple modes of use.
The third phase of this project will demonstrate a real-time system and data collection process. Machine learning and deep learning algorithms will be utilized to analyze the gaze and BCI data. The potential implications of this project are wide-ranging and could be beneficial in various applications, including psychological and clinical studies.
