Event Abstract

Single-trial classification of P300 speller data

  • 1 University of Greifswald, Institute of Mathematics and Informatics, Germany

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) like the P300 speller mainly rely on late components of the event-related potentials (ERP). Early components like N200 have also shown to be useful, although they usually reflect visual processing. When the BCI is used for disabled persons, it should not require eye fixation. However, when the BCI is used to assist computer work, use of early components improve the speed and performance.We studied the interplay of visual and cognitive ERP components in the P300 speller. In experiments with a 3 Ă— 3 character matrix, attention and eye fixation was directed either to different characters or to the same character. We investigated the performance of singe-trial classification of the attended and fixated character. Regularized discriminant analysis was applied to original data, to ICA components and wavelet coefficients.Very good discrimination was obtained in the case that attended and fixated character coincide. When they differed, simultaneous single-trial classification for both characters worked well. For most subjects, however, either the fixated or the attended character was recognized better than the other one.
