System and method for interacting with human brain activities using EEG-fNIRS neurofeedback

Abstract

An integrated EEG-fNIRS neurofeedback system for interacting with participant's brain activity includes EEG electrodes, fNIRS detectors, at least one information receiver, a computation module, and a report generator. The EEG electrodes collect EEG signals. The fNIRS detectors collect fNIRS signals. The at least one information receiver receives and processes the collected EEG and fNIRS signals. The computation module executes an EEG and fNIRS signal processing pipeline with the EEG electrodes, the fNIRS detectors, and the information receiver. The computation module is further configured to: calculate score information based on received EEG and fNIRS signals; select a minimum score from the calculated score information; and discard an alternative score that is not selected as the minimum score, so as to enable the computation module to choose a single representative score for the shared target objective from both EEG and fNIRS signals. The report generator provides a report of the selection.
