Brain‐computer interface (BCI) enables people who cannot move their own body freely to manipulate machines and helps their communication and life. Recent brain‐computer interface (BCI) uses multimodal stimuli to increase bit rate of the system, so it is important to reveal when and which part of the brain part is activated to discriminate target stimuli. Although magnetoencephalography (MEG) measures brain activity with high spatial and temporal resolution, there are a few indexes to estimate spatiotemporal locality of response. We propose an index to estimate spatiotemporal locality of response to multimodal stimuli of an oddball paradigm from magnetoencephalography (MEG) signals. The validity of proposed index is demonstrated by simulation. Discrimination task was conducted with different ratio of target/nontarget stimuli with visual and auditory location. Response to visual target stimuli was strong and made no spatiotemporal difference, so visual dominance was implied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
