About
Xingwei An is a leading researcher in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), with a focus on augmenting human capabilities through non-invasive neural control. His work spans three key areas: augmented reality (AR) BCIs, Chinese character writing via robotic systems, and supernumerary limb control. An’s most impactful contribution is the development of a high-speed online steady-state visually evoked potential (SSVEP)-BCI system integrated into an optical see-through AR headset, achieving 95 citations for its demonstration of practical, real-time BCI operation in an immersive environment. He also pioneered a BCI-controlled robot that writes Chinese characters, addressing the unique challenge of two-dimensional stroke composition—a significant advance over traditional spelling systems. More recently, An has explored motor imagery (MI) for controlling supernumerary robotic limbs, showing that imagined sixth-finger movements produce distinct EEG patterns with enhanced event-related desynchronization (ERD) and improved classification performance compared to inherent limb MI. This work, with over 10 citations, opens new pathways for movement augmentation. An’s research consistently pushes the boundaries of BCI applications, from assistive technology to human enhancement, making him a notable figure in neural engineering.
