Fundamental research for EEG interface: EEG and auditory/visual stimulus during eye-movements

Electroencephalograms (EEG), are the focus of this study. In order to develop an EEG-based interface, we examined the EEG during eye movements towards a visual/auditory stimulus. Experimental results have shown that the EEG dropped rapidly on the occipital lobe 25 milliseconds before eye movements. Also, when the eyes moved towards the right or left, the drop in the EEG was found on the right or left occipital lobe, respectively.
