This thesis outlines approaches to improve the signal processing and anal-
ysis of Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) based brain-computer interfaces
(BCI). These approaches were developed in conjunction with the implemen-
tation of a new customized
exible multi-channel NIRS based BCI hardware
system (Soraghan, 2010). Using a comparable functional imaging modality
the assumptions on which NIRS-BCI have been reassessed, with regard to
cognitive task selection, active area locations and lateralized motor cortex
activation separability. This dissertation will also present methods that
have been implemented to allow reduced hardware requirements in future
NIRS-BCI development. We will also examine the sources of homeostatic
physiological interference and present new approaches for analysis and at-
tenuation within a real-time NIRS-BCI paradigm.
