Dilation of the oropharynx via selective stimulation of the hypoglossal nerve.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:The use of natural sounds in auditory Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) has been shown to improve classification results and usability. Some auditory BCIs are based on stream segregation, in which the subjects must attend one audio stream and ignore the other(s); these streams include some kind of stimuli to be...
