Background:

Traditional brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) using steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs) can be unpleasant due to high-speed blinking stimuli.
SSVEP-based BCIs may not be universally applicable as SSVEPs are not detectable in all users.
Previous research proposed a non-direct gazing BCI using transient visual evoked potentials (VEPs) with low-speed blinking stimuli, reducing annoyance.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an improved brain-computer interface (BCI) that offers real-time gaze detection.
To enhance user comfort by maintaining an annoyance-free experience.
To increase the practicality of BCIs for users with motor disabilities.

Main Methods:

An improved BCI was developed, utilizing low-speed blinking visual stimuli and transient VEPs.
The system determines gazing direction in real time.
A new feature allows for gaze detection towards a central visual target, in addition to side targets.

Main Results:

Experiments with 6 volunteer subjects demonstrated an 84.2% accuracy rate in judging gazing direction.
The improved BCI successfully adapted to real-time changes in gazing direction.
The system maintained its annoyance-free advantage over SSVEP-based BCIs.

Conclusions:

The proposed real-time gaze-tracking BCI is more practical for daily use compared to previous versions.
The enhanced BCI offers improved adaptability and maintains user comfort.
This technology has the potential to significantly improve the quality of life for individuals with motor disabilities.
