Brain-Computer Interface Research: A State-Of-The-Art Summary 11

這本書展示了腦-電腦介面發展的最新趨勢。它突出了在語言解碼、脊髓刺激以實現步態和恢復手部功能等領域取得的迷人成果。這些貢獻是基於2022年BCI獎的12個提名腦-電腦介面項目。每年，一個國際評審團選擇最具創新性的BCI項目，並提名12個項目，然後選出第一、第二和第三名的得獎者。在這本書中，每個項目都由背後的科學家團隊詳細描述，編輯們則提供了對該領域的亮點和整體進展的結論性討論。

Christoph Guger studied electrical and biomedical engineering at the University of Technology Graz in Austria and Johns Hopkins University in the USA and received his PhD in 1999. In 1999 he started the company g.tec which was now branches in Austria, Spain, the USA, Canada and Hong Kong. g.tec produces high-quality neurotechnology and real-time brain computer interfaces for the research, medical and consumer markets. The company is active in many international research projects about brain-computer interfacing, neuromodulation, stroke rehabilitation, assessment and communication with patients with disorders of consciousness and high-gamma mapping in epilepsy and tumor patients.

Dr. Allison has been active in EEG research for over 20 years, most of which involved brain-computer interface (BCI) systems. He earned his PhD in Cognitive Science in 2003 at UC San Diego, where he focused on BCIs based on visual attention (primarily P300) and imagined movement. He has since worked with several top researchers and institutes, including Prof. Wolpaw at the New York State Dept of Health, Prof. Polich at The Scripps Research Institute, and Profs. Pfurtscheller and Neuper at Graz University of Technology. He returned to his alma mater and is again with the Cognitive Science Dept. at UCSD. He is a Founding Board Member of the BCI Society and editor of the BCI Journal. Dr. Allison's recent work involves extending BCI technology to help new groups. This includes persons seeking motor rehabilitation after a stroke and persons with disorders of consciousness (DOC).

Tomasz M. Rutkowski holds a Master of Science in Electronics and a Ph.D. in Telecommunications and Acoustics from Wroclaw University of Technology, Poland. He has worked as a research scientist at RIKEN Brain Science Institute, Japan, and has held various academic positions in Japan at Kyoto University, University of Tsukuba, The University of Tokyo, and currently at RIKEN AIP, as well as in Poland at Nicolaus Copernicus University. His research interests include computational neuroscience, brain-computer interfacing, and AI applications for dementia biomarkers. In recognition of his work, Tomasz won The BCI Annual Research Award in 2014 and was nominated for the award in 2016. He also serves as a jury member for the Maria Sklodowska-Curie Prize for Young Female Scientists in Japan.

Dr. Milena Korostenskaja, Ph.D., is a neuroscientist who specializes in the clinical applications of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs). This includes functional mapping for epilepsy surgery and motor rehabilitation post-stroke. She has contributed to over 50 peer-reviewed publications and has given more than 90 talks at various scientific venues. Dr. Korostenskaja also teaches neuroscience-related courses to both graduate and undergraduate students, including a course on adaptive neurotechnologies and brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). She is the founder of "The Institute ofNeuroapproaches", where she offers career coaching and education to help people build successful careers in neuroscience and neurotechnologies. Additionally, Dr. Korostenskaja hosts the "Neurocareers: Doing the Impossible!" podcast, which aims to inspire and support people in exploring careers in neuroscience and neurotechnologies. She is also an official host of a special "BCI Award Neurocareers podcast series" featuring nominees and winners of the International BCI Award.

Christoph Guger在奧地利格拉茨科技大學和美國約翰霍普金斯大學學習電氣和生物醫學工程，並於1999年獲得博士學位。1999年，他創辦了g.tec公司，該公司現在在奧地利、西班牙、美國、加拿大和香港設有分支機構。g.tec公司生產高品質的神經技術和實時腦機接口，用於研究、醫療和消費市場。該公司在許多關於腦機接口、神經調節、中風康復、評估和與意識障礙患者溝通以及癲癇和腫瘤患者的高伽馬映射等國際研究項目中活躍。

Dr. Allison在腦電圖（EEG）研究領域已有20多年的經驗，其中大部分涉及腦機接口（BCI）系統。他於2003年在加州大學聖地亞哥分校獲得認知科學博士學位，專注於基於視覺注意力（主要是P300）和想像運動的BCI。此後，他與多位頂尖研究人員和機構合作，包括紐約州衛生部的Wolpaw教授、斯克里普斯研究所的Polich教授，以及格拉茨科技大學的Pfurtscheller教授和Neuper教授。他回到母校，目前在加州大學聖地亞哥分校的認知科學系任職。他是BCI學會的創始董事會成員和BCI期刊的編輯。Allison博士最近的工作涉及將BCI技術擴展到幫助新的群體，包括中風後尋求運動康復的人和意識障礙（DOC）患者。

Tomasz M. Rutkowski擁有波蘭弗羅茲瓦夫科技大學的電子學碩士學位和電信與聲學的博士學位。他曾在日本理化學研究所腦科學研究所擔任研究科學家，並在日本的京都大學、筑波大學、東京大學以及波蘭的尼古拉斯·哥白尼大學擔任各種學術職位。他的研究興趣包括計算神經科學、腦機接口和用於痴呆症生物標記的人工智能應用。為了表彰他的工作，Tomasz在2014年獲得了BCI年度研究獎，並在2016年入圍該獎項。他還擔任日本瑪麗亞·斯克沃多夫斯卡-居里獎的評審委員。

Dr. Milena Korostenskaja是一位專注於腦機接口（BCI）臨床應用的神經科學家。這包括癲癇手術的功能性定位和中風後的運動康復。她在50多篇同行評審的出版物中做出了貢獻，並在各種科學場合發表了90多次演講。Korostenskaja博士還向研究生和本科生教授與神經科學相關的課程，包括關於適應性神經技術和腦機接口（BCI）的課程。她是“神經方法研究所”的創始人，該機構提供職業指導和教育，幫助人們在神經科學和神經技術領域建立成功的職業生涯。此外，Korostenskaja博士主持了“神經職業：做不可能的事情！”播客，旨在激勵和支持人們探索神經科學和神經技術領域的職業。她還是國際BCI獎的提名者和獲獎者的特別“BCI獎神經職業播客系列”的官方主持人。
