Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Augmented reality (AR) integrates virtual elements into the real world.
  • Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) translate brain signals into device commands.
  • Combining AR and BCIs offers new interaction and feedback possibilities for users.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the efficacy of AR feedback in a BCI system.
  • To explore flexible choice encoding for enhanced BCI degrees of freedom.
  • To assess user performance in navigating a virtual menu using motor imagery and fNIRS.

Main Methods:

  • Twelve healthy participants engaged in motor-imagery tasks (mental drawing or virtual cube interaction).
  • Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) was used to decode user intentions from a single channel.
  • A rotating AR cube presented choices, with participants performing motor imagery to select options within a search tree structure.

Main Results:

  • The BCI system, utilizing AR feedback and a search tree, increased the degrees of freedom.
  • Participants successfully navigated a nested virtual menu.
  • A mean accuracy of 74% was achieved using a single motor-imagery task and a single fNIRS channel.

Conclusions:

  • AR feedback and flexible choice encoding significantly enhance BCI system capabilities.
  • This approach enables users to effectively navigate complex virtual environments.
  • The study demonstrates a promising direction for advanced BCI applications.
