“…A relatively new approach in BCI is the use of auditory steady-state responses (ASSR), where the user can modulate the ASSR by selective attention to a specific sound source such as tone burst trains with different beat frequencies on the left and right ear (Kim et al, 2011). The frequency of the tone, on which a user is putting attention to, can be registered in the EEG and further used to generate a switch signal.…”

Brain computer interfaces (BCIs) are devices that measure brain activities and translate them into control signals used for a variety of applications. Among them are systems for communication, environmental control, neuroprostheses, exoskeletons, or restorative therapies. Over the last years the technology of BCIs has reached a level of matureness allowing them to be used not only in research experiments supervised by scientists, but also in clinical routine with patients with neurological impairments supervised by clinical personnel or caregivers. However, clinicians and patients face many challenges in the application of BCIs. This particularly applies to high spinal cord injured patients, in whom artificial ventilation, autonomic dysfunctions, neuropathic pain, or the inability to achieve a sufficient level of control during a short-term training may limit the successful use of a BCI. Additionally, spasmolytic medication and the acute stress reaction with associated episodes of depression may have a negative influence on the modulation of brain waves and therefore the ability to concentrate over an extended period of time. Although BCIs seem to be a promising assistive technology for individuals with high spinal cord injury systematic investigations are highly needed to obtain realistic estimates of the percentage of users that for any reason may not be able to operate a BCI in a clinical setting.

“…While a variety of mental tasks have been explored for BCI control, most BCI systems rely on motor imagery or visual evoked potentials (Allison et al, 2007(Allison et al, , 2008Birbaumer and Cohen, 2007;Daly et al, 2013;Jin et al, 2014;Kübler et al, 2001;Mak and Wolpaw, 2009;Ortner et al, 2011;Wolpaw et al, 2002;Wang et al, 2014). A P300 BCI is a typical example of many different BCI systems which are based on visual, audio or tactile stimuli (Fazel-Rezai, 2007;Hill et al, 2004;Jin et al, 2014;Kaufmann et al, 2014;Kim et al, 2011;Mak et al, 2011). P300 is elicited by the events that subjects consider importantly (Acqualagna and Blankertz, 2013;Farwell and Donchin, 1988;Polich, 2007).…”

“…It is more usual to present results from trials in the range of 200 [17], [40], [41] to over 2000 [16], [20], [42] and so results from further testing may provide a greater insight. Equally, the number of subjects taking part in this study, although comparable to others work in auditory BCI [43]- [45], was limited and other BCI studies have reported anywhere from 13 subjects [46] to 100 [47] and would benefit from additional participants. Whereas speakers were used to present audio, one obvious improvement would come from the development of an auditory BCI using spatial audio presented through headphones and is an intended addition in future work.…”

Imagination of movement can be used as a control method for a brain-computer interface (BCI) allowing communication for the physically impaired. Visual feedback within such a closed loop system excludes those with visual problems and hence there is a need for alternative sensory feedback pathways. In the context of substituting the visual channel for the auditory channel, this study aims to add to the limited evidence that it is possible to substitute visual feedback for its auditory equivalent and assess the impact this has on BCI performance. Secondly, the study aims to determine for the first time if the type of auditory feedback method influences motor imagery performance significantly. Auditory feedback is presented using a stepped approach of single (mono), double (stereo), and multiple (vector base amplitude panning as an audio game) loudspeaker arrangements. Visual feedback involves a ball-basket paradigm and a spaceship game. Each session consists of either auditory or visual feedback only with runs of each type of feedback presentation method applied in each session. Results from seven subjects across five sessions of each feedback type (visual, auditory) (10 sessions in total) show that auditory feedback is a suitable substitute for the visual equivalent and that there are no statistical differences in the type of auditory feedback presented across five sessions.
