Title：Intelligent Integrated Communication and Computation System
Abstract:Traditional wireless communication networks are facing crucial problems such as high power consumption, separate optimization of communication and computataion resources, and lack of joint communication and computing design for large scenarios. Aiming at the opportunities brought by the integration of communication and computation, it is urgent to study and develop new communication theory methods to reduce the performance gap between communication and computation theoretical theory and the overall performance of the network. The main contents of this talk include the theoretical model of the integrated communication and computation system, the design of the data-oriented intelligent integrated communication and computation system design, and the model-oriented intelligent integrated communication and computation system design.

Title:Development and evaluation of BCI for operating VR flight simulator based on desktop VR equipment
Abstract:Advancement of brain-computer interface (BCI) has shown its applications in various scenarios, including flight control. Flight simulator is a crucial part for aircraft design or experiment. Desktop virtual reality (VR)-based flight is a perfect choice for overcoming existing problems in head-mounted VR flight simulations, such as dizziness and isolation, which make interaction and sharing very difficult. In this paper, a BCI based on the steady-state visual evoked potential paradigm and a VR flight simulator were developed and integrated. The performance of the developed system was evaluated quantitatively for comparative studies. Experimental results show that the developed system is very convenient and suitable for VR flight simulations. The average operating accuracies with plane and VR visual stimuli are 81.6% and 86.8%, respectively. The VR visual stimuli can improve the average operating accuracy by 5.2% compared with the plane visual stimuli.
