This study introduces a new method to detect user engagement in brain-computer interfaces (BCI) using electroencephalography (EEG) signals. Combining event-related potentials (ERP) and band power features improves asynchronous BCI performance.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) offer vital communication for individuals with neuromuscular disorders.
  • Current P300-based BCIs often require constant synchronous participant attention, limiting usability.
  • Asynchronous operation, adapting to user engagement, is a key goal for enhanced BCI systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel approach for assessing user engagement in P300-based BCIs.
  • To enable the creation of asynchronous BCIs by accurately detecting participant attention levels.
  • To investigate the utility of electroencephalography (EEG) signal features for engagement classification.

Main Methods:

  • Recorded EEG signals from nine participants across nine electrode sites under controlled attention conditions.

  • Analyzed band power in delta and beta frequency bands for discriminative features related to attention.
  • Developed a hybrid classification model integrating event-related potential (ERP) scores and EEG band power features.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant differences in delta and beta band power were observed between attending and non-attending states.
    • The hybrid classifier achieved a high performance, with an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.98.
    • Band power features provided complementary information to ERPs for robust user attention detection.

    Conclusions:

    • EEG band power, specifically delta and beta, offers valuable insights into user attention during BCI operation.
    • A hybrid approach combining ERP and band power features significantly enhances the accuracy of user engagement assessment.
    • This method facilitates the development of more adaptive and user-friendly asynchronous BCIs.
