Development of Mirror Neuron System-based BCI System using Steady-State Visually Evoked Potentials

چکیده
정상상태시각유발전위 (Steady-State Visually Evoked Potentials)는 특정 주파수를 가진 시각자극에 대한 자연반응 신호이며 3.5Hz∼75Hz의 주파수 범위를 갖는 시각 자극에 의해 동일한 주파수로 후두엽 영역이 전기적 활성화되는 특성이 있다. 본 논문에서 이러한 SSVEP 특성을 기반으로 EEG 분석을 수행하는 실험 패러다임을 구축하여 행동유발특성을 가지는 특정 객체에 대한 영상입 력 시각자극에서의 주파수 패턴에 대응하는 EEG의 주파수 특징을 검출하고 이를 기반으로 객체와 관련된 행동유발특성을 Mirror Neuron System을 통해 측정한다. 이 때 측정된 EEG 기반 행동유발특성 데이터에 대한 선형판별분석을 수행하여 객체 패턴분류를 실시간으로 수행한다. 이러한 SSVEP 관측 실험을 기반으로 사용자의 내재적 의도를 파악하기 위한 Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) 시스템을 제안했다. Speller 등으로 대표되는 기존의 SSVEP 응용시스템은 격자영상패턴에 대응하는 뇌파특성 분석에 따른 패턴분류의 수행이 가능하나 본 논문의 SSVEP 기반 BCI는 다양한 형태의 사물을 입력객체로 활용하여 분류가 가능함으로 인해 범 용성이 높아졌다.

OBJECTIVE We study the feasibility of a hybrid Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) combining simultaneous visual oddball and Steady-State Visually Evoked Potential (SSVEP) paradigms, where both types of stimuli are superimposed on a computer screen. Potentially, such a combination could result in a system being able to operate faster than a purely P300-based BCI and encode more targets than a purely...
