InteraXon has developed a sleek, portable EEG headset, the "Muse", for consumer applications. They have approached Becker and her graduate student to help implement state-of-the-art signal processing and machine learning methodologies that will lead to the development of more advanced brain-computer interfacing (BCI) consumer applications using the Muse. InteraXon is the primary Canadian company in the area of Brain-Computer Interfacing. By advancing their signal processing techniques and the neural basis for their technologies and applications, InteraXon can become a world leader in this new and upcoming field. In particular, InteraXon is interested in being the first company to implement a BCI using EEG microstates. EEG microstates are signals that reflect stable and synchronous activity in large, globally distributed brain networks and are thought to be the basic, atomic elements of thoughts and consciousness. The major aim of this research project is to develop a method for processing EEG and extracting microstates that provides an accurate and reliable means of identifying them in real time. At the end of the project, software for detecting, classifying and relating EEG microstates to mental activity and states of the user, to be used in a Brain-Computer Interface for a wide variety of applications, as well as a technical report, will be delivered to the company. Our project aligns perfectly with InteraXon's goal to develop applications that promote health, well-being and self-awareness, uniquely positioning the company in the Brain-Computer Interface market. These applications will be greatly beneficial to the Canadian population. Additionally, this work will help InteraXon become the primary world leader in BCI technologies and applications, making Canada the world leader in this revolutionary new and upcoming branch of technologies.

Interaxon开发了一种时尚，便携式的EEG耳机，即“缪斯”，用于消费者应用。他们已经与贝克尔和她的研究生联系，以帮助实施最先进的信号处理和机器学习方法，这将导致使用MUSE的更先进的大脑接口（BCI）消费者应用程序开发。 Interaxon是加拿大脑部接口领域的主要加拿大公司。通过推进其信号处理技术和技术和应用的神经基础，Interaxon可以成为这个新领域的世界领导者。特别是，Interaxon有兴趣成为第一家使用EEG Microstates实施BCI的公司。脑电图微晶格是反映大型全球分布的大脑网络中稳定和同步活动的信号，被认为是思想和意识的基本原子元素。该研究项目的主要目的是开发一种处理脑电图和提取微骨的方法，该方法提供了一种准确可靠的方法来实时识别它们。在项目结束时，将在大脑计算机界面中用于多种应用程序以及技术报告，用于检测，分类和将脑电图分类和将脑电图与用户的心理活动和用户的状态相关联。我们的项目完全符合Interaxon的目标，即开发促进健康，福祉和自我意识的应用程序，将公司在脑部计算机界面市场中的独特定位。这些应用将对加拿大人口有益。此外，这项工作将有助于Interaxon成为BCI技术和应用的主要世界领导者，使加拿大成为这一革命性新技术和即将到来的技术分支机构的领导者。
