P300 Brain-Computer Interface Performance: A dry electrode study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most brain-computer interfaces (BCI) are based on one of three types of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals: P300s, steady-state visually evoked potentials (SSVEP), and event-related desynchronization (ERD). EEG is typically recorded non-invasively using active or passive electrodes mounted on the human scalp. The common setup requires conductive electrode gel to get the best entrance impedance and noise ratio. However, electrode gel is inconvenient, uncomfortable, and entails setting problems that are especially pronounced when trained users are not available. Some work has introduced dry electrode systems that do not require gel, but often entail reduced comfort and signal quality. The principal goal of this study was to compare the performance of dry vs. gel-based electrodes in a very common BCI system: P300 spelling.

A brain-computer interface is a device that uses signals recorded from the brain to directly control a computer. In the last few years, P300-based braincomputer interfaces (BCIs) have proven an effective and reliable means of communication for people with severe motor disabilities such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Despite this fact, relatively few individuals have benefited from curr...

One important aspect in non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) research is to acquire the electroencephalogram (EEG) in a proper way. From an end-user perspective, it means with maximum comfort and without any extra inconveniences (e.g., washing the hair), whereas from a technical perspective, the signal quality has to be optimal to make the BCI work effectively and efficiently. In this wo...
