A "virtual keyboard" (VK) is a letter spelling device operated for example by spontaneous electroencephalogram (EEG), whereby the EEG is modulated by mental hand and leg motor imagery. We report on three able-bodied subjects, operating the VK. The ability in the use of the VK varies between 0.85 and 0.5 letters/min in error-free writing.

This study presents a novel multi-stage hierarchical approach to optimize key selection on virtual keyboards using eye gaze. Existing single-stage selection algorithms have difficulty with distant keys on large interfaces. The proposed technique divides the standard QWERTY keyboard into progressively smaller regions guided by eye movements, with boundary fixations first selecting halves and quarters to sequentially narrow the search area.

This study introduces an integrated computational environment that leverages Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology to enhance information access for individuals with severe disabilities. Traditional assistive technologies often rely on physical interactions, which can be challenging for this demographic. Our innovation focuses on creating new assistive technologies that use novel Human-Computer interfaces to provide a more intuitive and accessible experience.

This research presents a dataset consisting of electroencephalogram and eye tracking recordings obtained from six patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in a locked-in state and one hundred seventy healthy individuals. The ALS patients exhibited varying degrees of disease progression, ranging from partial mobility and weakened speech to complete paralysis and loss of speech. Despite these physical impairments, the ALS patients retained good eye function, which allowed them to use a virtual keyboard for communication.

Introduction: Paralyzed and physically impaired patients face communication difficulties, even when they are mentally coherent and aware. Electroencephalographic (EEG) brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) offer a potential communication method for these people without invasive surgery or physical device controls.
Methods: Although virtual keyboard protocols are well documented in EEG BCI paradigms, these implementations are visually taxing and fatiguing.

We examine the feasibility of using accelerometer data exclusively collected during typing on a custom smartphone keyboard to study whether typing dynamics are associated with daily variations in mood and cognition. As part of an ongoing digital mental health study involving mood disorders, we collected data from a well-characterized clinical sample (N = 85) and classified accelerometer data per typing session into orientation (upright vs. not) and motion (active vs.
