User Tutorial:Mu Rhythm BCI Tutorial

This is the start page for a tutorial that will give you a step-by-step introduction into performing mu-rhythm BCI experiments with BCI2000, trying to cover the most important theoretical and practical aspects required.

Before working through this tutorial, you should be familiar with the nature of EEG signals, and the basics of EEG measurement. Also, the tutorial assumes that you are familiar with your amplifier, and have all the necessary driver software installed according to the amplifier's manual.

To do the tutorial, please work through each of the pages listed below, in sequence:

Tutorial Steps

• Introduction to the Mu Rhythm

gives you an overview of the Mu rhythm's origin and properties, and a conceptual description of a Mu rhythm based BCI.

• EEG Measurement Setup

describes the physical preparation required for EEG measurements.

• Obtaining Mu Rhythm Parameters in an Initial Session

is a step-by-step description how to perform an initial session to acquire BCI configuration parameters.

• Configuring Online Feedback

shows you how to configure the BCI sytem using the configuration parameters acquired in the previous step.

• Performing a Mu Rhythm Feedback Session

describes how to use the BCI system once it has been configured.

• Analyzing a Mu Rhythm Feedback Session

shows you how to analyze a BCI session to adapt configuration parameters to changes that may occur during feedback training.
