Abstract

Brain-computer interface (BCI) systems aim to control external devices by using brain signals. The performance of these systems is influenced by the user's mental state, such as attention. In this study, we classified two attention states to a target task (attended and distracted task level) while attention to the task is altered by one of three types of distractors. A total of 27 participants were allocated into three experimental groups and exposed to one type of distractor. An attended condition that was the same across the three groups comprised only the main task execution (self-paced dorsiflexion) while the distracted condition was concurrent execution of the main task and an oddball task (dual-task condition). Electroencephalography signals were recorded from 28 electrodes to classify the two attention states of attended or distracted task conditions by extracting temporal and spectral features. The results showed that the ensemble classification accuracy using the combination of temporal and spectral features (spectro-temporal features, 82.3 ± 2.7%) was greater than using temporal (69 ± 2.2%) and spectral (80.3 ± 2.6%) features separately. The classification accuracy was computed using a combination of different channel...Continue Reading
