Working with Bioelectric Signals: the Enobio BNCI Recording Unit
The Enobio Device is a wireless Biosignal acquisition unit for Brain and Neural Computer Interfaces
developed by the AsTeRICS partner company Starlab Living Science (Barcelona). Enobio provides 4
channels of bioelectrical signals - for example EEG, EMG EOG or ECG. The Enobio sensor component
interfaces the Enobio device to the ARE, so that signals recorded by Enobio are available to be
processed by other plugins running in the ARE.

Model Description
Requirements
Remarks & considerations
The following model descriptions
provide an interface to the Enobio
unit for blink detection. The eyeblinks are used to create single or
double clicks of the left mouse
button.
An Enobio unit must be
available and installed on the
computer. The internal
battery is charged, and the
operation of the hardware
has been verified using the
Enobio software which is
delivered with the product.
There are various ways how Enobio
could be used in the AsTeRICS
framework, including EOG, EMG and
EEG applications.
The major Brain-Computer-Interface
(BCI) paradigms which allow computer
control by brainwaves, for example P300,
SSVEP and movement imagination can
be interfaced via the OpenVibe bridge
plugin.
Such models could be combined
with the camera-mouse model or
used together with OSKA to
perform eye-blink controlled
scanning.
Other possible applications are
the modification of modelparameters or model switching by
double-eye-blinks.
Additionally, dedicated AsTeRICS plugins
are available for SSVEP based BCI
setups.
