Abstract
During brain surgery, functional brain mapping is critical, and the time needed for the procedure should be reduced to the minimum in order to avoid risks for the patient. In this project, we extend the traditional concept of BCI for communication and control between brain and external devices, to the concept of Brain-Surgeon Interface (BSI) in order to establish an interactive channel between the patient’s brain and the surgeon, with the ultimate goal of a high quality and precise brain surgery. Compared with “intraoperative fMRI”, which is expensive and time-consuming, or cortical electrical stimulation, which may cause epilepsy and brain swelling during the surgery, the proposed ECoG-based BSI system works in an online scenario, and the mapping time can be significantly reduced to a half minute for both motor and sensory cortex. Three signal modalities were used for functional brain mapping: movement related cortical potential, steady-state somatosensory evoked potential, event-related (de)synchronization. The proposed BSI system may provide a considerable advantage for clinical brain surgery applications.
