ABSTRACT

A Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is a communication and control pathway to directly translate brain activities into control commands (Wolpaw et al, 2002). In recent years, BCI has attracted increasing attention from multiple disciplines, such as neural engineering, artificial intelligence, and pattern recognition (Mellinger et al, 2007, Pfurtscheller et al, 2000, Weikophf et al, 2004). An important issue in BCI research is cursor control, where the goal is to map brain signals to the movements of a cursor on a computer screen. Its potential applications include computer mouse control, web browser, and e-mail. In the BCI field, the research of 1D cursor control was paid much attention to, which was implemented by motor imagery-based BCIs.
