Brain computer interface research at the neuroscience department of the "Tor Vergata" University of Rome, Italy.

Brain Computer Interface (BCI) systems have gained great visibility in the last years as they represent a quite innovative way of communication and a new instrument aimed at exploring brain functions. A lot of research labs are developing their own BCI system, everyone being involved in some particular aspects of them. At the "Tor Vergata" University our purpose is to develop tools for the evaluation and the optimization of the performances of BCI systems and to delineate some criteria for the analysis and implementation of different BCI systems; also we have defined file formats for BCI data in order to allow the sharing of tools among groups and to create models for the generalization and therefore the unification of the resources. All the tools and routines mentioned are part of the Body Language Framework++ 2.0.
