Background:
- Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) integrate EEG for adaptive human-robot collaboration.
- Online error detection using EEG-measured error-related potentials (ErrPs) enhances assistive device reliability.
- Challenges include efficient classification, artifact reduction, and EEG signal non-stationarity.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate a comprehensive approach for continuous online EEG-based machine error detection.
- To address the challenges of real-time error detection in human-robot interaction.

Main Methods:
- Developed a model using two temporal-derivative features and effect size-based feature selection during an offline stage.
- Implemented a lightweight noise filtering method for online sessions without recalibration.
- Tested the model in a live online competition detecting errors in orthosis movements.
Main Results:
- Achieved 89.9% average cross-validation accuracy in the offline stage.
- Demonstrated sustained performance in a live online session 3 months post-training without recalibration.
- Maintained a low 1.7% false alarm rate with swift response times.
Conclusions:
- Validated the integration of temporal derivative features and effect size-based selection for online EEG-based BCIs.
