Standardization of protocol design for user training in EEG-based Brain-Computer Interface

Journal of Neural Engineering

Abstract

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are systems that enable a person to interact with a machine using only neural activity. Such interaction can be non-intuitive for the user hence user trainings are developed to increase one's understanding, confidence and motivation, which would in parallel increase system performance. To clearly address the current issues in the BCI user training protocol design, here it is divided into introductory period and BCI interaction period. First, the introductory period (before BCI interaction) must be considered as equally important as the BCI interaction for user training. To support this claim, a review of papers show that BCI performance can depend on the methodologies presented in such introductory period. To standardize its design, the literature from human-computer interaction (HCI) is adjusted to the BCI context. Second, during the user-BCI interaction, the interface can take a large spectrum of forms (2D, 3D, size, color etc.) and modalities (visual, auditory or haptic etc.) without following any design standard or guidelines. Namely, studies that explore perceptual affordance on neural activity, show that motor neurons can be triggered from a simple observation of certain objects, and depen...Continue Reading

Brain-Computer Interface

A brain-computer interface, also known as a brain-machine interface, is a bi-directional communication pathway between an external device and a wired brain. Here is the latest research on this topic.
