Teilnahmevoraussetzungen | Enrolment in Master's programme Neurocognitive Psychology or other programs related to the field (e.g. neuroscience, computer science, physics etc.). |
Kompetenzziele | Goals of module: The goal of the module is to provide students with basic skills required to plan, implement and evaluate brain computer interfaces as devices for human computer interaction. BCIs are an ideal showcase as they fully span the interdisciplinary field of HCI design, implementation and evaluation. Importantly, classical BCI-methods can be used for modern data-driven basic neuroscience. The module is designed as an "enabler course", meaning that ideally students should be able to understand and start independent studies into the BCI-methods. Therefore, it goes into depth instead of breadth. Good programming skills and some active knowledge of high school maths is strongly advised to maximize the learning outcome. Competencies: ++ understanding of the foundations of statistical learning techniques + basics to understand technical time series processing and machine learning papers ++ interdisciplinary knowledge & thinking + experimental methods ++ statistics & scientific programming + critical & analytical thinking + scientific communication skills + knowledge transfer + group work + project & time management |
Modulinhalte | The module will introduce classic BCI paradigms and brain recoding techniques. However the main focus will be on a deeper understanding of the most important signal processing, machine learning, and performance evaluation techniques. The module combines a lecture on the theoretical foundations a seminar/hands on course in which students learn to implement the BCI-processing steps on real neurophysiological data and further elaborate specific subtopics. Part 1: HCI and BCI Lecture: (Lecture on methodological foundations of BCI): summer Part 2: Hands on BCI implementation (practical seminar): summer Topics covered:
The practical seminar implements BCI techniques on a real data set and further elaborates specific topics in seminar form. |
Literaturempfehlungen | There is no required textbook. The lecture slides and notes should be sufficient.
