    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Signal Processing

    Background:

    • Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are crucial for communication and control.
    • Mu-rhythm-based BCIs are common, but methods to improve their accuracy require further study.
    • Enhancing BCI performance is vital for users with motor impairments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the efficacy of rhythmic electrical stimulation at alpha frequency (10 Hz) on the ulnar nerve.
    • To enhance the performance of mu-rhythm-based BCIs during left- and right-hand motor imagery tasks.
    • To determine if electrical stimulation can improve the accuracy and discriminability of BCI control.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized electroencephalograph (EEG) data from 9 healthy subjects.
    • Applied rhythmic electrical stimulation at 10 Hz to the ulnar nerve at the contralateral wrist.
    • Performed time-frequency analysis, spectral analysis, and discriminant analysis on EEG data before and after stimulation.
    • Compared BCI performance during left- and right-hand motor imagery tasks.

    Main Results:

    • Electrical stimulation resulted in more pronounced event-related desynchronization/synchronization (ERD/S) in the mu rhythm over the somatosensory and motor cortex.
    • Average classification accuracy for distinguishing left- and right-hand imagery significantly increased from 78.43% to 88.17% post-intervention.
    • The intervention effectively regulated the brain's mu rhythm, enhancing the discriminability of motor imagery tasks.

    Conclusions:

    • Rhythmic electrical stimulation at alpha frequency is an effective method for improving mu-rhythm-based BCI performance.
    • This technique enhances the brain's mu rhythm, leading to improved accuracy in BCI control.
    • The findings offer a promising non-invasive approach to boost BCI efficacy for communication and control applications.
