Quantification and Reduction of Visual Load during BCI Operation

2014
Conference Papers

Abstract

Operating a brain-actuated vehicle in real world environment requires much of our visual attention. However, a typical brain-computer interface (BCI) sends the feedback information about the current status of the user’s brain via also the visual channel. As a result, users have to split their visual attention into two; one for the surroundings and another for the visual BCI feedback. Multiple object tracking experiment is employed to quantify the visual load added by the visual feedback. We show that the additional visual load is almost eliminated, and the true negative rate of a BCI operation (intentional non-control) is improved when the visual feedback is replaced by the tactile feedback.

Brain–computer interface

A brain–computer interface (BCI), sometimes called a brain–machine interface (BMI) or smartbrain, is a direct communication pathway between the brain's electrical activity and an external device, most commonly a computer or robotic limb. BCIs are often directed at researching, mapping, assisting, augmenting, or repairing human cognitive or sensory-motor functions. They are often conceptualized as a human–machine interface that skips the intermediary component of the physical movement of body parts, although they also raise the possibility of the erasure of the discreteness of brain and machine.

Visual Studio

Visual Studio is an integrated development environment (IDE) from Microsoft. It is used to develop computer programs including websites, web apps, web services and mobile apps. Visual Studio uses Microsoft software development platforms such as Windows API, Windows Forms, Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Store and Microsoft Silverlight. It can produce both native code and managed code. Visual Studio includes a code editor supporting IntelliSense (the code completion component) as well as code refactoring.

Brain implant

Brain implants, often referred to as neural implants, are technological devices that connect directly to a biological subject's brain – usually placed on the surface of the brain, or attached to the brain's cortex. A common purpose of modern brain implants and the focus of much current research is establishing a biomedical prosthesis circumventing areas in the brain that have become dysfunctional after a stroke or other head injuries. This includes sensory substitution, e.g., in vision.
