We developed a fast-to-set-up Human Computer Interface (HCI) using electrooculography (EOG) for cursor control. Naïve users achieved high accuracy, with performance significantly improving after learning.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Establishing effective Human-Computer Interfaces (HCI) is crucial for assistive technologies and seamless human-machine interaction.
  • Electrooculography (EOG) offers a non-invasive method for detecting eye movements, enabling potential control signals.
  • Rapid deployment and high accuracy with untrained users remain challenges for current HCI systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel Human-Computer Interface (HCI) utilizing electrooculography (EOG) for rapid setup and high accuracy.
  • To demonstrate the feasibility of establishing a quick and effective interface between humans and machines using EOG.
  • To evaluate the performance of the developed HCI with naïve users and assess the impact of learning on accuracy.

  • Development of a Human-Computer Interface (HCI) using electrooculography (EOG) for cursor control.
  • Utilized off-the-shelf hardware components, including an approved amplifier for human use.
  • Designed a graphical user interface with integrated optical and acoustical feedback, powered by self-developed software.

Main Results:

  • The Human-Computer Interface (HCI) achieved high accuracy with naïve users upon initial setup, which was prepared in under five minutes.
  • Significant improvements in success rates were observed with additional user learning.
  • A maximum information transfer rate of 57.7 bits per minute was attained with untrained users.

Conclusions:

  • The presented electrooculography (EOG)-based Human-Computer Interface (HCI) offers a rapid and accurate solution for human-machine interaction.
  • The system demonstrates high potential for applications requiring quick setup and effective control, even for users without prior experience.
  • Further learning significantly enhances the performance, indicating adaptability and user-specific optimization possibilities.
