    Summary

    Combining electroencephalographic (EEG) and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) improves brain-computer interface (BCI) performance. This bimodal approach enhances steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) classification, making BCIs faster and more reliable.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Noninvasive brain-computer interfaces (BCI) using electroencephalography (EEG) face limitations in reliable command detection and accuracy, especially with shorter signal epochs.
    • Existing BCI systems struggle to differentiate between intentional commands and background neural activity, leading to misclassifications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To enhance BCI performance by integrating near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) with EEG signals.
    • To improve the accuracy and reliability of BCI command detection, including an "idle" state.

    Main Methods:

    • Simultaneously recorded EEG and NIRS signals during steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) stimulation.
    • Utilized NIRS to measure hemodynamic fluctuations and an "idle" command from non-stimulation periods (OFF-period).
    • Estimated BCI commands based on responses to a flickering checkerboard (ON-period).

    Main Results:

    • The joint use of EEG and NIRS significantly improved SSVEP classification accuracy.
    • Relative error rate reduction ranged from 53% to 85% with increasing epoch length (3 to 12 s) across 13 subjects.
    • Effective classification was achieved using only one EEG and one NIRS channel.

    Conclusions:

    • A bimodal NIRS-EEG approach offers a more reliable method for BCI command detection.
    • The inclusion of an "idle" mode detection via NIRS enhances overall BCI system robustness.
    • This integrated approach has the potential to increase the speed and dependability of current BCI systems.
