Three-Dimensional Brain–Computer Interface Control Through Simultaneous Overt Spatial Attentional and Motor Imagery Tasks
TLDR
The results strongly support the hypothesis that noninvasive EEG-based BCI can provide robust 3-D control through endogenous neural modulation in broader populations with limited training.Abstract:
Objective: While noninvasive electroenceph-alography (EEG) based brain-computer interfacing (BCI) has been successfully demonstrated in two-dimensional (2-D) control tasks, little work has been published regarding its extension to practical three-dimensional (3-D) control. Methods: In this study, we developed a new BCI approach for 3-D control by combining a novel form of endogenous visuospatial attentional modulation, defined as overt spatial attention (OSA), and motor imagery (MI). Results: OSA modulation was shown to provide comparable control to conventional MI modulation in both 1-D and 2-D tasks. Furthermore, this paper provides evidence for the functional independence of traditional MI and OSA, as well as an investigation into the simultaneous use of both. Using this newly proposed BCI paradigm, 16 participants successfully completed a 3-D eight-target control task. Nine of these subjects further demonstrated robust 3-D control in a 12-target task, significantly outperforming the information transfer rate achieved in the 1-D and 2-D control tasks (29.7 ± 1.6 b/min). Conclusion: These results strongly support the hypothesis that noninvasive EEG-based BCI can provide robust 3-D control through endogenous neural modulation in broader populations with limited training. Significance: Through the combination of the two strategies (MI and OSA), a substantial portion of the recruited subjects were capable of robustly controlling a virtual cursor in 3-D space. The proposed novel approach could broaden the dimensionality of BCI control and shorten the training time.read more

Benefits of Deep Learning Classification of Continuous Noninvasive Brain-Computer Interface Control
TL;DR: Improvements in classification accuracy were found to negatively correlate with initial online BCI performance, suggesting deep learning methods preferentially benefit BCI participants who need it most, and suggest that a variety of neural biomarkers useful for BCI, including those outside the motor cortex, can be detected through deepLearning methods.
