The LNMB team has developed expertise in the field of EEG/Evoked potentials and human movement analysis. It includes one full professor (G. Chéron), one assistant-professor, PhD (A. Bengoetxea), one PhD research assistant (C. De Saedeleer). 2 PhD students (A Cebolla and F. Leurs ) and one informatician (M. Petiau) (PRODEX support) have joined the team and participated in the Odissea, Cervantes and Increment 9-10-11 space missions in the International Space Station (ISS) where the NeuroCOG I experiments were successfully realized. This team has acquired experience in multiple EEG and evoked potential working with cosmonauts at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City and in NASA center (Houston). As Prof. G. Chéron is also the head of the Laboratory of Electrophysiology of the University of Mons, both groups work conjointly in the fields of neuronal oscillation in which one FNRS fellow is engaged (C. Prigogine, MD). Since 2002, the members of the team have reached new competencies by using complex software environment such as EEGLab, artificial neural network (DRNN) and mathematical sophisticated approaches (FFT, independent component analysis, multiple dipole source analyzers (swLORETA). The cooperation with the group of the Collège de France (Prof. A. Berthoz) offers the possibility to link the psychophysical analysis of the cosmonauts' performance with brain oscillations. The LNMB equipment offer the possibility to simultaneously record EEG, ERP, EMG and 3D movements in real environments. NihonKohden systems and ANT multi-dynamics EEG 128-ch systems are used in conjunction to an optoelectronic ELITE system (6 camera working at 100Hz) synchronized to 16 wire-less EMG channels and a 3D eye-tracker system. Virtual Reality (VR) that have flown in recent space missions is also used. Currently, the LNMB is involved in NeuroSpat space mission (Increment 19-20).The aim of this project was to study Perception, Attention, Memorization, Decision and Action) (PAMDA) during VR sensory-motor tasks. The LNMB is also implicated in a new FP7 (ICT-2009.7.2) program (MINDWALKER). MINDWALKER purpose is to conceive a system empowering lower limbs disabled people that let them perform their usual daily activities. Novel BCI approaches will be experimented. and relies on our DRNN technology.
