This study introduces a novel Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) spelling system using a "multimenu" approach. This P300-based BCI enhances communication speed for individuals with severe communication impairments.

Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Biomedical Engineering
Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) offer communication pathways for individuals with severe motor impairments.
P300 evoked potentials are a common neural signal used in BCI applications.
Current BCI spelling methods are often slow and cumbersome.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate a novel P300-based Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) spelling procedure using a word-based "multimenu" system.
To compare the effectiveness and speed of the "multimenu" system against conventional letter-based matrices.
To evaluate the impact of matrix size (3x3 vs. 6x6) on BCI performance.

Main Methods:

A tree-shaped "multimenu" organization was employed for word selection.

Keywords:

P300 brain-computer interface electroencephalography semantic organization spelling

Experiments involved healthy volunteers performing both externally-imposed and free-choice selections.

Classifier accuracy, bit rate, and P300 amplitude were measured and compared across different matrix configurations and selection methods.

Main Results:

The "multimenu" system achieved an average accuracy of 87% across all subjects, regardless of selection method.
A 3x3 "multimenu" matrix demonstrated comparable classifier accuracy to 6x6 matrices, despite a lower P300 amplitude.
The 3x3 "multimenu" significantly increased the bit rate compared to 6x6 matrices, indicating faster communication.

Conclusions:

The "multimenu" BCI system is an effective and faster alternative to conventional letter-based spelling matrices.
This word-based approach holds significant potential for improving communication speed in individuals with severe communication disabilities.
The 3x3 "multimenu" configuration offers an optimal balance between performance and speed.
