Abstract

This paper is aimed to develope of an integrated BCI(Brain Computer Interface System) that make possible for simultaneous multichannel data process and used extra cellular neural activity from the vestibular system instead of electroencephalogram signals for more precision control. The electrical properties pre-amplifier are 47.6 dB of gain, 0.005 % of distortion at 100 Hz, 12M$\Omega$ of input impedance. Window discriminator used two CPU with difference role to increase processing speed so that sampling frequency was 87 kHz. The designed window discriminator has more not only two times in signal resolution power but also ten times in error discrimination power than commericially available discriminator. The proposed method decreases 100 times in amount of integrated data then BCI system during 100 ms.

본 논문에서는 생체신호의 발생을 자유롭게 조절 할 수 있는 전정기관으로부터 생성된 전기신호를 추출하여 window discriminator로 필요한 신호를 선택한 후, BCI 시스템을 적용하여 정밀하고 정확한 제어가 가능하고 멀티채널을 이용하여 데이터를 처리할 수 있는 통합 시스템을 구현하였다. 전정신경세포의 흥분신호를 검출하는 전치증폭기는 측정된 이득이 47.6dB, 왜율은 100 Hz에서 측정 시 0.005%이었으며, 입력임피던스 특성은 12M$\Omega$이었다. Window discriminator는 2개의 CPU를 사용하여 역할을 분담함으로써 처리 속도를 증가시켰고, ADC 샘플링 주파수는 87kHz이었으며, 기존 시스템보다 분해능이 2배, 변별 오차는 10배가 향상되었음을 알 수 있었다. 제안된 방법이 뇌파분석법 보다 100ms동안 축적된 데이터양이 약 100배 정도 감소되었음을 입증하였다.
