Description

The introduction to Modern Brain Computer Interface Design is a fantastic way for someone new to BCI to get up and running. The course showcases BCILAB as a framework for building a fast prototyping a BCI.

I copied word for word, every slide in the every lecture into a document for each lecture, further on tough concepts, I add some personal notes which read a laymen interpretation of Kothe’s notes.

Directory Structure

There are four folders at this time

1. Demos

• Outlines for each demo
  • I want to turn this into an FAQ/Quick reference for BCILAB so everything is written in first person question form for quick searching later…

2. Exercises

• Each exercise has it’s own folder.
• Splits further into:
  1. Code
  • MATLAB code for this exercise
  2. Outline
  • Exercise Outlines, Notes and Instructions for this exercise

3. General

• Contains information such as Course Information (for citing) or a Table Of Contents that I used when watching the lectures offline

4. Lectures

• The gold of this whole Github… this are the in-depth course outlines

Key for Lectures [How to Read these Notes]

Bold text indicates two different things depending on context

• In an equation, it’s a Matrix
• In a paragraph it is a critical piece of information, most likely bolded by Kothe.

Italic font is used the first time you see a new definition or want to add emphasis to a word such as very fast

Code can be found whenever this monospace style is used. All code in this lecture is in MATLAB
