I'm a fifth year student in Computer Engineering in Politecnico di Milano.
 +
I got my undergraduate degree in Computer Engineering from Politecnico di Milano in July 2007.
 +
I'm currently working on my final project in order to get my graduate degree.
 +
 +
My final project is about brain-computer interfaces, in particular non-invasive sensorimotor rhythm-based BCI.
 +
The touchstone of the project is the [http://www.bciresearch.org/ Wardsworth BCI] interface developed by Wolpaw and his colleagues.

 +
==Description of the final project==
 +
As now, the current aim of the final project is to implement a working sensorimotor rhythm-based brain-computer interface and use it to control a cursor on a screen. To achieve this goal, I am working with my colleagues and my supervisor inside the university lab; our brain-computer interface is based on the free open-source framework [http://www.bci2000.org/BCI2000/Home.html BCI2000].

I'm a fifth year student in Computer Engineering in Politecnico di Milano. I got my undergraduate degree in Computer Engineering from Politecnico di Milano in July 2007. I'm currently working on my final project in order to get my graduate degree.

My final project is about brain-computer interfaces, in particular non-invasive sensorimotor rhythm-based BCI. The touchstone of the project is the Wardsworth BCI interface developed by Wolpaw and his colleagues.
