The 2011 IEEE Eric E. Sumner Award is being presented to H. Vincent Poor, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ. IEEE selected Prof. Poor to receive the award, "for pioneering contributions to multiple-access communications."
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are devices that process a user’s brain signals to allow direct communication and interaction with the environment. BCIs bypass the normal neuromuscular output pathways and rely on digital signal processing and machine learning to translate brain signals to action. Brain signals are recorded either noninvasively from electrodes placed on the scalp [electroencephalogram (EEG)] or invasively from electrodes placed on the surface of or inside the brain.
