Abstract
A closed-loop system for asynchronous brain control of at least one task includes a brain state decoder configured to decode neural signals of a user into control signals for controlling the at least one task, a task interface module configured to transmit the control signals to the at least one task, store status information including a series of messages regarding each of the at least one task, and select one message of the series of messages regarding the at least one task to transmit to the user, and a brain state encoder configured to map the one message received from the task interface module into brain state montages for transmission to the user.
Claims20
A closed-loop system for asynchronous brain control of at least one task, the system comprising:
- a brain state decoder configured to decode neural signals of a user into control signals for controlling the at least one task;
- a task interface module configured to transmit the control signals to the at least one task, store status information comprising a plurality of messages regarding each of the at least one task, and select one message of the plurality of messages to transmit to the user;
- and
- a brain state encoder configured to map the one message received from the task interface module into brain state montages for transmission to the user.
A method for asynchronous control of at least one task in a closed-loop system, the method comprising:
- decoding, with a brain state decoder, neural signals of a user into a command signal;
- transmitting the command signal to the at least one task;
- storing, in at least one status buffer, status information comprising a plurality of messages regarding each of the at least one task;
- selecting, with a status selector module programmed with an algorithm, one message of the plurality of messages;
- and
- encoding, with a brain state encoder, the one message into brain state montages for transmission to the user.
A closed-loop system for asynchronous brain control of at least two tasks, the system comprising:
- means for decoding neural signals of a user into a command signal;
- means for transmitting the command signal to at least one task;
- means for storing status information comprising a plurality of messages regarding each of the at least one task;
- means for selecting one message of the plurality of messages regarding the at least one task;
- and
- means for encoding the one message regarding the at least one task into brain state montages for transmission to the user.
