Popis: Researchers in the brain–computer interface (BCI) field work on developing different applications that can improve the quality of life of severely disabled patients, for whom a BCI can be a useful channel through which to interact with their environment. This chapter focuses on systems intended to control moving devices (such as a wheelchair) studied by the BCI research group from the University of Malaga during the last years. When controlling a wheelchair in a real environment, it is necessary to guarantee safety. For this reason, the experiments carried out made use of virtual reality for training in a safe environment. We propose different experiments concerning virtual and real environments and several control paradigms that rely on the classification of two mental tasks for generating three or four navigation commands.
