EEG Signal Processing and Classification for the Novel Tactile-Force Brain-Computer Interface Paradigm

The presented study explores the extent to which tactile-force stimulus delivered to a hand holding a joystick can serve as a platform for a brain computer interface (BCI). The four pressure directions are used to evoke tactile brain potential responses, thus defining a tactile-force brain computer interface (tfBCI). We present brain signal processing and classification procedures leading to successful interfacing results. Experimental results with seven subjects performing online BCI experiments provide a validation of the hand location tfBCI paradigm, while the feasibility of the concept is illuminated through remarkable information-transfer rates.
