Summer project

Artificial Intelligence Specialization · Cohort 2025

Exploring Novel Machine Learning Techniques for Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) Applications

A team of researchers associated with the Applied Machine Learning Laboratory will lead a team of students in developing novel machine learning techniques that will be used for improving brain computer interfaces (BCIs) using electroencephalography (EEG) data. Students will learn how to pre-process EEG data, extract EEG features, and train machine learning algorithms for character selection in a spelling interface that allows “locked in” individuals, like Stephen Hawking, to communicate with the outside world. In addition to developing machine learning
