Platform for analyzing multi-tasking capabilities during BCI operation

2014
Conference Papers

Abstract

Operating brain-actuated devices requires split attention between the interaction of the device with its environment and the Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) feedback. Recently we demonstrated that BCI feedback could be provided via tactile stimulation and no difference between tactile and visual BCI feedback could be found. In this work we want to present a platform for analyzing these multi-tasking capabilities during BCI operation. Thereby, the subjects will have to perform a visual engaging and complex task in a game like setup while interacting with the BCI in a coordinated multi-tasking manner.

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.

Human–computer interaction

Human–computer interaction (HCI) is research in the design and the use of computer technology, which focuses on the interfaces between people (users) and computers. HCI researchers observe the ways humans interact with computers and design technologies that allow humans to interact with computers in novel ways. A device that allows interaction between human being and a computer is known as a "Human-computer Interface (HCI)".

User interface

In the industrial design field of human–computer interaction, a user interface (UI) is the space where interactions between humans and machines occur. The goal of this interaction is to allow effective operation and control of the machine from the human end, while the machine simultaneously feeds back information that aids the operators' decision-making process. Examples of this broad concept of user interfaces include the interactive aspects of computer operating systems, hand tools, heavy machinery operator controls and process controls.
