Abstract

n this paper, we present a first proof-of-concept for using a mobile Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) coupled to a wearable computer as an ambient input device for a ubiquitous computing service. BCI devices, such as electroencephalogram (EEG) based BCI, can be used as a novel form of human-computer interaction device. A user can log into a nearby computer terminal by looking at its screen. This feature is enabled by detecting a user's gaze through the analysis of the brain's response to visually evoked patterns. We present the experimental setup and discuss opportunities and limitations of the technique.
