Computer Science

Background:

The P300 speller is crucial for communication restoration in patients with severe neuromuscular disorders.
Traditional electroencephalography (EEG) based P300 spellers face limitations in performance.
Electrocorticography (ECoG) offers a potential alternative with higher signal resolution.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare the efficacy of ECoG versus EEG in a P300 speller system.
To investigate methods for improving P300 speller performance using ECoG.
To evaluate the impact of electrode placement on system accuracy and speed.

Main Methods:

P300 speller performance was evaluated in two epilepsy patients using temporary subdural ECoG arrays.
Offline analysis assessed accuracy and bit rate, incorporating spectral features and a natural language processing (NLP) algorithm.
Spatial analysis identified optimal electrode locations for signal acquisition.

Main Results:

The occipital ECoG grid achieved 82.77% accuracy and 41.02 bits/min, improving to 96.31% and 49.47 bits/min with NLP and spectral features.
The temporal ECoG grid yielded 59.03% accuracy and 18.26 bits/min, improving to 75.81% and 27.05 bits/min.
Signal analysis indicated superior performance with electrodes placed near the occipital pole.

Conclusions:

ECoG, combined with spectral features and language models, significantly boosts P300 speller bit rates.
Brain-computer interface (BCI) performance using ECoG is sensitive to electrode positioning.
Visually evoked potentials likely play a key role in the observed improvements.
