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.

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 BCI2000.

Bibliography of the final project
Disclaimer: as you can see, this is just a raw draft of the bibliography; I use it only to keep track of the papers I read, so each entry does not contain all the data related to the source, but only the name of an author (usually the most famous from each research group, e.g. J.R. Wolpaw for the Wadsworth Center or G. Pfurtscheller for the University of Graz), the title of the paper and the year of publication.
