Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Functional transcranial Doppler (fTCD) is an ultrasound technique measuring cerebral blood flow velocity to assess neural activation during cognitive tasks.
  • Existing fTCD-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have limitations in speed and accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate the feasibility of real-time, multi-class BCIs using fTCD blood flow velocity.
  • Evaluate fTCD performance during mental rotation and word generation tasks.

Main Methods:

  • Extracted statistical features from fTCD signals using five-level wavelet decomposition.
  • Utilized Wilcoxon test for feature reduction and Support Vector Machines (SVM) with a linear kernel for classification.
  • Assessed performance for 2-class (task vs. rest, task vs. task) and 3-class problems.

Main Results:

  • Achieved high accuracies: 80.29% (mental rotation vs. rest), 82.35% (word generation vs. rest) within ~3s.
  • Attained 79.72% accuracy for mental rotation vs. word generation within 2.24s.
  • Reached 65.27% accuracy for a 3-class problem within 4.68s.

Conclusions:

  • Demonstrated significant improvements in accuracy and speed compared to existing fTCD-based BCIs.
  • fTCD is a promising technology for developing practical, real-time BCIs.
  • The developed system is 12x faster than binary and 2.5x faster than 3-class fTCD BCIs.
