Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Virtual Reality
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Maintaining a reliable human-avatar mapping is crucial for immersive virtual reality (VR) experiences.
  • Breaks in embodiment (BiE), such as loss of agency or body ownership, disrupt user experience.
  • Current methods for detecting BiE rely on subjective user reports, limiting real-time intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel brain-computer interface (BCI) for real-time implicit detection of BiE in VR.
  • To enable seamless adjustment of human-avatar mapping to prevent BiE.
  • To create a 'Plug-and-Play' non-invasive BCI solution for VR applications.

Main Methods:

  • A novel BCI approach was developed to monitor users' brain oscillatory activity (EEG).
  • EEG data was collected from 37 participants performing reaching movements with distorted avatar feedback.
  • A BCI-reinforcement learning (RL) closed-loop system was used to customize human-avatar mapping.

Main Results:

  • The BCI approach accurately predicted BiE across varying magnitudes of erroneous interaction.
  • The closed-loop RL system successfully customized mapping to prevent BiE.
  • A non-personalized BCI decoder demonstrated generalization to new users, enabling 'Plug-and-Play' functionality.

Conclusions:

  • The developed VR-BCI system effectively detects BiE in real-time.
  • Seamless correction of human-avatar mapping is achievable without personalized decoders or user reports.
  • This technology promises to enhance avatar-based interaction and immersive experiences in VR.
