Towards Gut-Brain Computer Interfacing: Gastric Myoelectric Activity as an Index of Subcortical Phenomena

Vujic, A., Tong, S., Picard, R., Maes, P. (2018) Towards Gut-Brain Computer Interfacing: Gastric Myoelectric Activity as an Index of Subcortical Phenomena. In 3rd International Mobile Brain/Body Imaging Conference, 135-136.

Abstract

The 3rd International Mobile Brain/Body Imaging (MoBI) conference in Berlin 2018 brought together researchers from various disciplines interested in understanding the human brain in its natural environment and during active behavior. MoBI is a new imaging modality, employing mobile brain imaging methods like the electroencephalogram (EEG) or near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) synchronized to motion capture and other data streams to investigate brain activity while participants actively move in and interact with their environment. Mobile Brain / Body Imaging allows to investigate brain dynamics accompanying more natural cognitive and affective processes as it allows the human to interact with the environment without restriction regarding physical movement. Overcoming the movement restrictions of established imaging modalities like functional magnetic resonance tomography (MRI), MoBI can provide new insights into the human brain function in mobile participants. This imaging approach will lead to new insights into the brain functions underlying active behavior and the impact of behavior on brain dynamics and vice versa, it can be used for the development of more robust human-machine interfaces as well as state assessment in mobile humans.
