Bayesian Approach to Dynamically Controlling Data Collection in P300 SpellersThrockmorton, Chandra S., Colwell, Kenneth A., Ryan, David B., Sellers, Eric W., Collins, Leslie M. 22 May 2013 (has links)
P300 spellers provide a noninvasive method of communication for people who may not be able to use other communication aids due to severe neuromuscular disabilities. However, P300 spellers rely on event-related potentials (ERPs) which often have low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). In order to improve detection of the ERPs, P300 spellers typically collect multiple measurements of the electroencephalography (EEG) response for each character. The amount of collected data can affect both the accuracy and the communication rate of the speller system. The goal of the present study was to develop an algorithm that would automatically determine the necessary amount of data to collect during operation. Dynamic data collection was controlled by a threshold on the probabilities that each possible character was the target character, and these probabilities were continually updated with each additional measurement. This Bayesian technique differs from other dynamic data collection techniques by relying on a participant-independent, probability-based metric as the stopping criterion. The accuracy and communication rate for dynamic and static data collection in P300 spellers were compared for 26 users. Dynamic data collection resulted in a significant increase in accuracy and communication rate.

Increasing BCI Communication Rates With Dynamic Stopping Towards More Practical Use: An ALS StudyMainsah, B. O., Collins, L. M., Colwell, K. A., Sellers, E. W., Ryan, D. B., Caves, K., Throckmorton, C. S. 01 February 2015 (has links)
Objective. The P300 speller is a brain-computer interface (BCI) that can possibly restore communication abilities to individuals with severe neuromuscular disabilities, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), by exploiting elicited brain signals in electroencephalography (EEG) data. However, accurate spelling with BCIs is slow due to the need to average data over multiple trials to increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the elicited brain signals. Probabilistic approaches to dynamically control data collection have shown improved performance in non-disabled populations; however, validation of these approaches in a target BCI user population has not occurred. Approach. We have developed a data-driven algorithm for the P300 speller based on Bayesian inference that improves spelling time by adaptively selecting the number of trials based on the acute SNR of a user's EEG data. We further enhanced the algorithm by incorporating information about the user's language. In this current study, we test and validate the algorithms online in a target BCI user population, by comparing the performance of the dynamic stopping (DS) (or early stopping) algorithms against the current state-of-the-art method, static data collection, where the amount of data collected is fixed prior to online operation. Main results. Results from online testing of the DS algorithms in participants with ALS demonstrate a significant increase in communication rate as measured in bits/min (100-300%), and theoretical bit rate (100-550%), while maintaining selection accuracy. Participants also overwhelmingly preferred the DS algorithms. Significance. We have developed a viable BCI algorithm that has been tested in a target BCI population which has the potential for translation to improve BCI speller performance towards more practical use for communication.

Channel Selection Methods for the P300 SpellerColwell, K. A., Ryan, D. B., Throckmorton, C. S., Sellers, E. W., Collins, L. M. 30 July 2014 (has links)
The P300 Speller brain-computer interface (BCI) allows a user to communicate without muscle activity by reading electrical signals on the scalp via electroencephalogram. Modern BCI systems use multiple electrodes ("channels") to collect data, which has been shown to improve speller accuracy; however, system cost and setup time can increase substantially with the number of channels in use, so it is in the user's interest to use a channel set of modest size. This constraint increases the importance of using an effective channel set, but current systems typically utilize the same channel montage for each user. We examine the effect of active channel selection for individuals on speller performance, using generalized standard feature-selection methods, and present a new channel selection method, termed jumpwise regression, that extends the Stepwise Linear Discriminant Analysis classifier. Simulating the selections of each method on real P300 Speller data, we obtain results demonstrating that active channel selection can improve speller accuracy for most users relative to a standard channel set, with particular benefit for users who experience low performance using the standard set. Of the methods tested, jumpwise regression offers accuracy gains similar to the best-performing feature-selection methods, and is robust enough for online use.

Amplitude Quantization of Event Related Potentials for Brain-Computer InterfacesKrusienski, Dean J., Townsend, George, Sellers, Eric W. 27 October 2009 (has links)
As neural interfaces continue to progress toward practical applications, there is increased demand for smaller, more efficient and cost effective devices. Event related potentials (ERPs) have recently been demonstrated to be reliable for practical communication in disabled individuals using the P300 Speller paradigm. With the objective of simplifying the processing of ERPs in order to minimize the hardware/computational requirements, and therefore the power consumption (for increased battery life for wireless, etc.), this study examines the effects of the analog-to-digital converter amplitude quantization on the ERP classification accuracy for the P300 Speller.

P300 Brain-Computer Interface: Comparing Faces to Size Matched Non-Face StimuliKellicut-Jones, M. R., Sellers, E. W. 02 January 2018 (has links)
Non-invasive brain–computer interface (BCI) technology can restore communication for those unable to communicate due to loss of muscle control. Nonetheless, compared to augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices requiring muscular control, BCIs provide relatively slow communication. Therefore, implementing techniques improving BCI speed and accuracy is important. Previous studies indicate that facial stimuli elicit N170 and N400 components, in addition to the P300 component associated with P300 BCI. These additional components can increase speed and accuracy. Our study investigated the influence of image size and content using four conditions: large face, small face, large non-face, and small non-face. We predicted faces would provide higher accuracy than non-face stimuli and larger stimuli would provide higher accuracy than small stimuli. We found no significant difference in performance between conditions; however, significant waveform differences were found in each condition.

Coadaptation cerveau machine pour une interaction optimale : application au P300-Speller / Brain-machine coadaptation for optimal interaction : application to P300-SpellerPerrin, Margaux 21 December 2012 (has links)
Les interfaces cerveau-machine (ICM) permettent de contrôler une machine directement à partir de l'activité cérébrale. Le P300-Speller, en particulier, pourrait offrir à des patients complètement paralysés, la possibilité de communiquer sans l'aide de la parole ou du geste. Nous avons cherché à améliorer cette communication en étudiant la coadaptation entre cerveau et machine. Nous avons d'abord montré que l'adaptation d'un utilisateur peut être partiellement perçue, en temps-réel, à travers les modulations de sa réponse électrophysiologique aux feedbacks de la machine. Nous avons ensuite proposé, testé et évalué les effets sur l'utilisateur de plusieurs approches permettant d'améliorer l'interaction, notamment : la correction automatique des erreurs, grâce à la reconnaissance en temps-réel des réponses aux feedbacks ; une stimulation dynamique permettant de diminuer le risque d'erreur tout en réduisant l'inconfort lié aux stimulations ; un processus automatique de décision adaptative, en fonction de l'état de vigilance du sujet. Nos résultats montrent la présence de réponses aux feedbacks spécifiques des erreurs et modulées par l'attention ainsi que par la surprise du sujet face au résultat de l'interaction. Par ailleurs, si l'efficacité de la correction automatique est variable d'un sujet à l'autre, le nouveau mode de stimulation comme la décision adaptative apparaissent comme très avantageux et leur utilisation a un effet positif sur la motivation. Dans la perspective d'études cliniques pour évaluer l'utilité des ICM pour la communication, ces travaux soulignent et quantifient l'intérêt de développer des interfaces capables de s'adapter à chaque utilisateur / Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) aim at enabling the brain to directly control an artificial device. In particular, the P300-Speller could offer patients who cannot speak and neither move, to communicate again. This work consisted in improving this communication by implementing and studying a coadaptation between the brain and the machine. First, on the user side, we showed that adaptation is reflected in real-time by modulations of the electrophysiological responses to the feedbacks from the machine. Then, on the computer side, we proposed, tested and evaluated the effect on the user, of several approaches that endow the machine with adaptive behavior, namely: Automatic correction of errors, based on real-time recognition of feedback responses; Dynamic stimulation to increase spelling accuracy as well as to reduce the discomfort associated with the traditional row/column stimulation paradigm; Adaptive decision making for optimal stopping, depending on the attentional state of the user. Our results show the presence of feedback responses which are error specific and modulated by attention as well as user's surprise with respect to the outcome of the interaction. Besides, while the interest of automatic correction is highly subject-dependant, the new stimulation mode and the adaptive decision method proved clearly beneficial and their use had a significant positive impact on subject's motivation. In the perspective of clinical studies to assess the usefulness of ICM for communication, this work highlights and quantifies the importance of developing adaptive interfaces that are tailored to each every individual

Framgång i amfibieoperationer : En teoriprövande studie om framgång i Operation Chromite, 1950Elvin Nowak, Hannes January 2019 (has links)
This paper examines how Speller’s theory of success in amphibious operations can be applied on a successful amphibious operation. The research has been encouraged by the fact that previous research concerning success in amphibious operations appears to be lacking. No previous studies of the theory have been found, which further strengthen the necessity for this study. The theory is examined by a single-case study of the recognised amphibious assault on Inchon during the Korean War. The theory is able to explain the success, otherwise the credence to the theory would be refuted. The result of the analysis discloses that Speller’s theory successfully explains the Inchon success in every analytical aspect but deception. The study shows that the coalition forces did not manage to or intend to deceive the North Korean opponent in relation to how an amphibious landing should take place. This study supports the theory as explanatory and can serve as vital knowledge when planning and executing an amphibious operation; however, to strengthen the study’s result, further studies are necessary.
