Evidence Accumulation in asynchronous BCI
نویسندگان
چکیده
The non-invasive Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) developed in our lab targets asynchronous operation of devices by monitoring electroencephalographic (EEG) activity and identifying oscillatory patterns that the user can voluntary modulate through the execution of motor imagery (MI) tasks. Successful self-paced interaction under this framework requires the incorporation of an evidence accumulation module to eliminate the uncertainty of single-sample classification and to drive an efficient feedback visualization. In this work, we motivate the need for this additional module, describe its role in a closed-loop MI BCI and present a comparative study of two different frameworks for evidence accumulation.

Asynchronous BCI Control of a Robot Simulator with Supervised Online Training
Due to the non-stationarity of EEG signals, online training and adaptation is essential to EEG based brain-computer interface (BCI) systems. Asynchronous BCI offers more natural human-machine interaction, but it is a great challenge to train and adapt an asynchronous BCI online because the user’s control intention and timing are usually unknown. This paper proposes a novel motor imagery based a...
متن کاملFeature Dimensionality Reduction by Manifold Learning in Brain-computer Interface Design
Unsupervised manifold learning for dimensionality reduction has drawn much attention in recent years. This paper applies two manifold learning methods for the first time to feature dimensionality reduction in brain-computer interface (BCI) design, and compares them with principal component analysis (PCA) and supervised PCA that is mathematically equivalent to the common spatial patterns (CSP) m...

Motor disability and/or ageing can prevent individuals from fully enjoying home facilities, thus worsening their quality of life. Advances in the field of accessible user interfaces for domotic appliances can represent a valuable way to improve the independence of these persons. An asynchronous P300-based Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) system was recently validated with the participation of hea...
متن کاملSelf-adapting Bci Based on Unsupervised Learning
This paper adopts a simple but effective unsupervised method for incrementally updating the means and variances that define LDA and Bayesian classifiers for real-time BCI. The method is evaluated using asynchronous BCI data from three subjects. Experimental results show that the proposed selfadaptation approach is stable and able to improve BCI performance consistently. This paper also aims to ...
متن کاملA brain-controlled switch for asynchronous control applications
Asynchronous control applications are an important class of application that has not received much attention from the brain-computer interface (BCI) community. This work provides a design for an asynchronous BCI switch and performs the first extensive evaluation of an asynchronous device in attentive, spontaneous electroencephalographic (EEG). The switch design [named the low-frequency asynchro...
