Neurotechnology User Training System – NUTS

Despite their current lack of reliability, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) based on motor imagery hold promise for a wide range of clinical and non-clinical applications. The user training that these technologies require, during which people learn to control their own brain activity, is a significant limitation preventing a wider development of the technology. This project aims to develop the first intelligent tutoring system dedicated to BCI user training, including all the typical modules found in such systems. We will first model the knowledge users acquire during the training. Then, we will explore informative pedagogical instructions for the training. Finally, we will investigate how to adapt the training to the users’ psychological state. We anticipate that this project will enhance BCI use and open the door to broader applications in healthcare and more.
