Objective Loss of the voluntary muscular control while preserving cognitive functions is a common symptom of neuromuscular disorders leading to a variety of functional deficits, including the ability to operate software tools that require the use of conventional interfaces like mouse, key-board, or touch-screens. As a result, the affected individuals are marginalized and unable to keep up with the rest of the society in a digitized world. MAMEM's goal is to integrate these people back into society by increasing their potential for communication and exchange in leisure (e.g. social networks) and non-leisure context (e.g. workplace). In this direction, MAMEM delivers the technology to enable interface channels that can be controlled through eye-movements and mental commands. This is accomplished by extending the core API of current operating systems with advanced function calls, appropriate for accessing the signals captured by an eye-tracker, an EEG-recorder and bio-measurement sensors. Then, pattern recognition and tracking algorithms are employed to jointly translate these signals into meaningful control and enable a set of novel paradigms for multimodal interaction. These paradigms will allow for low- (e.g. move a mouse), meso- (e.g. tick a box) and high-level (e.g. select n-out-of-m items) control of interface applications through eyes and mind. A set of persuasive design principles together with profiles modeling the users (dis-)abilities will be also employed for designing adapted interfaces for disabled. MAMEM will engage three different cohorts of disabled (i.e. Parkinson's disease, muscular disorders, and tetraplegia) that will be asked to test a set of prototype applications dealing with multimedia authoring and management. MAMEM's final objective is to assess the impact of this technology in making these people more socially integrated by, for instance, becoming more active in sharing content through social networks and communicating with their friends and family Fields of science natural sciencesbiological sciencesneurobiologycognitive neurosciencenatural sciencescomputer and information sciencessoftwaresoftware applicationssystem softwareoperating systemsmedical and health sciencesbasic medicineneurologymuscular dystrophiesmedical and health sciencesbasic medicineneurologymultiple sclerosisnatural sciencescomputer and information sciencesartificial intelligencepattern recognition Programme(s) H2020-EU.2.1.1. - INDUSTRIAL LEADERSHIP - Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies - Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Main Programme H2020-EU.2.1.1.4. - Content technologies and information management: ICT for digital content, cultural and creative industries Topic(s) ICT-22-2014 - Multimodal and Natural computer interaction Call for proposal H2020-ICT-2014 See other projects for this call Sub call H2020-ICT-2014-1 Funding Scheme RIA - Research and Innovation action Coordinator ETHNIKO KENTRO EREVNAS KAI TECHNOLOGIKIS ANAPTYXIS Net EU contribution € 606 167,51 Address Charilaou thermi road 6 km 57001 Thermi thessaloniki Greece See on map Region Βόρεια Ελλάδα Κεντρική Μακεδονία Θεσσαλονίκη Activity type Research Organisations Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 Participants (7) Sort alphabetically Sort by Net EU contribution Expand all Collapse all UNIVERSITAT KOBLENZ Germany Net EU contribution € 487 782,50 Address Universitatsstrasse 1 56070 Koblenz See on map Region Rheinland-Pfalz Koblenz Koblenz, Kreisfreie Stadt Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 EB NEURO SPA Italy Net EU contribution € 365 250,00 Address Via pietro fanfani 97/a 50127 Firenze See on map SME The organization defined itself as SME (small and medium-sized enterprise) at the time the Grant Agreement was signed.
