Analyzing and deciphering brain signals on a single trial base is the main goal of brain-computer interface (BCI) research as well as neurolinguistics. In the present study, we have evaluated the efficacy of three neuroimaging techniques-active electroencephalography (EEG), passive EEG, and magnetoencephalography (MEG)-in capturing and evaluating brain activity in response to auditory stimuli. The main goals of our research included two primary components: first, to identify ROIs, and second, to determine the appropriate number of stimulus samples needed to achieve a meaningful level of reliability. To estimate this number of measurement repetitions we performed step-wise sub-sampling combined with permutation testing. This involved a detailed comparison of event-related potentials resp. fields (ERPs, ERFs) elicited by auditory stimuli such as acoustic clicks and continuous speech. Our results show that active EEG outperformed passive EEG and MEG in sensor space. However, MEG demonstrated superior signal localization in source space. These results also highlight the complexity of developing real-time speech BCIs.

A longstanding debate in cognitive neuroscience questions whether temporal processing is modality-specific or governed by a "central clock" mechanism. We propose that this debate stems from neglecting the duration of the intervals processed, as studies supporting modality-specific models of time perception often focus on below 1.2-s intervals.

Cybersickness is marked by symptoms such as dizziness and nausea, which previous work primarily assessed via subjective post-immersion questionnaires and motion-restricted controlled setups. In this paper, we investigate the dynamic nature of cybersickness while users experience and freely interact in VR.

Introduction: Enhancing medical robot training traditionally relies on explicit feedback from physicians to identify optimal and suboptimal robotic actions during surgery. Passive brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) offer an emerging alternative by enabling implicit brain-based performance evaluations. However, effectively decoding these evaluations of robot performance requires a comprehensive understanding of the spatiotemporal brain dynamics identifying optimal and suboptimal robot actions within realistic settings.

When measuring surface biopotentials there exists a trade-off between the spacing of the recording and reference electrodes, the fidelity of the recorded signals, and its susceptibility to motion artifacts and electromagnetic interference. In this paper, we propose and demonstrate the functionality of a wearable instrumentation patch that instead of measuring referenced biopotentials, measures local bioelectric field projections using a combination of passive differential referencing circuits, active shielding and a wide-dynamic-range instrumentation amplifier. As a result, the instrumentation patch can track biopotentials with magnitudes ranging from 1μV to 5mV, and even in the presence of significant motion artifacts.
