Assessment of User Experience with a Commercial BCI Device

چکیده
In this work we aim to evaluate the user experience with a state-of-the-art commercial braincomputer interface (BCI) device, namely the Neurosky Mindwave Mobile. This device is able to measure certain types of brain waves and translate them into quantitative measurements of users’ attention and meditation, using a single, non-invasive electrode. To this goal we build a brain controlled toy car, which is based on the Arduino platform, and evaluate the user experience at a real-life experiment with 20 users, for whom this has been their first experience with a BCI device.

A Study in User-Centered Design and Evaluation of Mental Tasks for BCI
Current brain-computer interfacing (BCI) research focuses on detection performance, speed, and bit rates. However, this is only a small part of what is important to the user. From human-computer interaction (HCI) research, we can apply the paradigms of user-centered design and evaluation, to improve the usability and user experience. Involving the users in the design process may also help in mo...
متن کاملEvaluating user experience with respect to user expectations in brain-computer interface games
Evaluating user experience (UX) with respect to previous experiences can provide insight into whether a product can positively affect a user’s opinion about a technology. If it can, then we can say that the product provides a positive UX. In this paper we propose a method to assess the UX in BCI systems with respect to user expectations. We demonstrate the application of our method in a prelimi...

In order to develop an Adaptive Virtual Environment (AVE), users’ experience, their needs and preferences should be accounted. In the methodology we presented in this paper, to build a 3D Adaptive Virtual environment (AVE), we overcome the weaknesses of user-centered evaluation (UCE) traditional methods by employing a Brain Computer Interface (BCI): The proposed methodology aims at (I) supporti...

We combined the new developments of multimodal Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) and wireless EEG headsets with art by creating BrainBrush. Users can paint on a virtual canvas by moving their heads, blinking their eyes and performing selections using a P300 BCI. A qualitative evaluation (n=13) was done. A questionnaire was administered and structured interviews were conducted to assess the usabil...
متن کاملUser Experience Design for Brain-Computer Interfaces to Support Interaction in Points of Interest
This paper discusses the potential of brain-computer interfaces (BCI) in the interaction between users and objects in points of interest in a city. We present an initial design of the user experience with BCI, aimed to include users with disabilities but also to enhance the experience of the general public. This design includes a physical space to be conditioned specifically for BCI so users ca...
