Correcting Robot Mistakes in Real Time Using EEG Signals

Lab member Andrés F. Salazar-Gómez worked on the paper titled, Error-related potential for human-robot interaction: Correcting Robot Mistakes in Real Time Using EEG Signals.   In this project we are using EEG signals to automatically detect errors made by a robot. Our work focuses on identifying Error-related Potentials (ErrP), EEG signals generated in response to an […]
