Abstract
The paper discusses novel and interesting, from users’ point of view, design of auditory brain-computer/machine interfaces (BCI/ BMI) utilizing human auditory responses. Two concepts of auditory stimuli BCI/BMI are presented. The first paradigm is based on steady-state tonal or musical stimuli yielding satisfactory EEG response classification for several seconds long stimuli. The second discussed paradigm is based on spatial sound localization and the brain evoked responses estimation, requiring shorter than a second stimuli presentation. In conclusion the preliminary results are discussed and suggestions for further applications are drawn.
