About

Christina Farmaki is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and assistive robotics, with a particular focus on translating laboratory innovations into real-world applications. Her most cited study, "Applicability of SSVEP-based brain-computer interfaces for robot navigation in real environments," addresses a critical challenge in the field: moving BCIs from controlled settings to practical, everyday use. By leveraging steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEP)—a robust and high-speed BCI protocol—Farmaki demonstrated how users could navigate a robot through complex, dynamic environments using only their brain activity. This work not only validated the feasibility of SSVEP-based systems for real-time control but also highlighted their potential to restore mobility and independence for individuals with severe neuromuscular conditions. With 9 citations, this paper serves as a foundational reference for researchers aiming to bridge the gap between BCI technology and assistive robotics. Farmaki’s contributions underscore a commitment to developing non-invasive, user-friendly interfaces that can operate reliably outside the lab, making her a notable voice in the ongoing effort to bring BCI-driven autonomy to those who need it most.
