Reliability-Based Automatic Repeat reQuest with Error Potential-Based Error Correction for Improving P300 Speller Performance
نویسندگان
چکیده
The P300 speller allows users to select letters just by thoughts. However, due to the low signal-to-noise ratio of the P300 response, signal averaging is often performed, which improves the spelling accuracy but degrades the spelling speed. The authors have proposed reliability-based automatic repeat request (RB-ARQ) to ease this problem. RB-ARQ could be enhanced when it is combined with the error correction based on the error-related potentials. This paper presents how to combine both methods and how to optimize parameters to maximize the performance of the P300 speller. The result shows that the performance was improved by 40 percent on average.

متن کاملError Control for Performance Improvement of Brain-Computer Interface: Reliability-Based Automatic Repeat Request
Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) are systems that translate one’s thoughts into commands to restore control and communication to severely paralyzed people, and they are also appealing to healthy people. One of the challenges is to improve the performance of BCIs, often measured by the accuracy and the trial duration, or the information transfer rate (ITR), i.e., the mutual information per unit ...
متن کاملAutomatic Recognition of Error Potentials in a P300-Based Brain-Computer Interface
An error potential (ErrP) is an innate event-related potential generated when a subject makes a mistake, and, more relevant to brain-computer interface (BCI) applications, when the BCI itself behaves differently from the user intent. For this reason, error potentials are nowadays attracting attention in the BCI field and the presence of ErrPs has been studied already in a few BCI paradigms. In ...
متن کاملOnline Detection of P300 and Error Potentials in a BCI Speller
Error potentials (ErrPs), that is, alterations of the EEG traces related to the subject perception of erroneous responses, have been suggested to be an elegant way to recognize misinterpreted commands in brain-computer interface (BCI) systems. We implemented a P300-based BCI speller that uses a genetic algorithm (GA) to detect P300s, and added an automatic error-correction system (ECS) based on...
متن کاملReed Solomon Erasure Coding for the Optimization of Network Reliability and Energy Efficiency in Wireless Sensor Networks
his Network error correction (NEC) helps to correct errors of a communication network by using the concept of network coding [1] and provides an alternative to the traditional link-by-link error correction. NEC is widely used in sensor networks and in video network broadcasting, where the network suffers from delay and energy constraints. This paper aims to design an Automatic Repeat Request (A...
