Abstract:

Brain-computer interface (BCI) is a communication system that allows a direct connection between the human brain and external devices. With the application of BCI, it is important to estimate vigilance for BCI users. In order to investigate the vigilance changes of the subjects during BCI tasks and develop a multimodal method to estimate the vigilance level, a high-speed 4-target BCI system for cursor control was built based on steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP). 18participants were recruited and underwent a 90-min continuous cursor-control BCI task, when electroencephalogram (EEG),electrooculogram (EOG), electrocardiography (ECG), and electrodermal activity (EDA) were recorded simultaneously.Then, we extracted features from the multimodal signals and applied regression models to estimate vigilance. Experimental results showed that the differential entropy (DE) feature could effectively reflect the change of vigilance. The vigilance estimation method, which integrates DE and EOG features into the support vector regression (SVR) model, achieved a better performance than the compared methods. These results demonstrate the feasibility of our methods for estimating vigilance levels in BCI.
