    Intracortical brain-computer interface (iBCI) performance remains robust despite increased attentional load from dual-tasking. Signal quality significantly influences an individual's ability to maintain iBCI control under cognitive demand.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Human-Computer Interaction

    Background:

    • High-performance intracortical brain-computer interfaces (iBCIs) show variable performance, potentially due to attentional load from distractors.
    • Understanding how attention impacts iBCI consistency is crucial for real-world applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effect of attentional load on iBCI performance and neural activity.
    • To assess iBCI robustness during dual-tasking involving cognitive challenges.

    Main Methods:

    • A 2D cursor translation + click iBCI task was paired with an N-Back working memory task to induce attentional load.
    • Scalp electroencephalography (EEG) measured neural correlates of attention (theta and alpha band power).
    • Two participants with tetraplegia (P2 and P4) participated in the study.

    Intracortical Inhibition Within the Primary Motor Cortex Can Be Modulated by Changing the Focus of Attention

    Published on: September 11, 2017

    Main Results:

    • EEG and self-reported difficulty indicated increased attentional load during dual-tasking.
    • Intracortical brain-computer interface (iBCI) performance was generally robust across conditions.
    • Participant P2 showed minor performance decrements under mild attentional load, possibly due to lower signal quality.
    • Participant P4 maintained performance, likely due to higher signal quality.

    Conclusions:

    • Intracortical brain-computer interface (iBCI) performance demonstrates robustness to attentional load.
    • Signal quality is a critical factor influencing iBCI adaptability to cognitive demands.
    • Further research is needed to understand iBCI use across diverse cognitive states and individual differences.
