van Vliet, Sjoerd (author)Different paradigms can be used to evoke brainwaves. These brainwaves can be interpreted as commands that can be used to control different applications. These frameworks that interpret the brainwaves are called brain-computer interfaces. Steady-state visually evoked potentials is one of these paradigms that uses external stimuli flickering at...master thesis 2023

Foss, Ollie (author), Blenkinsopp, Chris E. (author), Bayle, P.B. (author), Martins, Kévin (author), Schimmels, Stefan (author), Almeida, Luis Pedro (author)Pressure on the coastline is escalating due to the impacts of climate change, this is leading to a rise in sea-levels and intensifying storminess. Consequently, many regions of the coast are at increased risk of erosion and flooding. Therefore coastal protection schemes will increase in cost and scale. In response there is a growing use of...journal article 2023
