Vibrotactile Stimulus Frequency Optimization for the Haptic BCI Prototype
The paper presents results from a psychophysical study conducted to optimize
vibrotactile stimuli delivered to subject finger tips in order to evoke the
somatosensory responses to be utilized next in a haptic brain computer
interface (hBCI) paradigm. We also present the preliminary EEG evoked responses
for the chosen stimulating frequency. The obtained results confirm our
hypothesis that the hBCI paradigm concept is valid and it will allow for rapid
stimuli presentation in order to improve information-transfer-rate (ITR) of the
BCI.Comment: The 6th International Conference on Soft Computing and Intelligent

Multi-command Tactile Brain Computer Interface: A Feasibility Study
The study presented explores the extent to which tactile stimuli delivered to
the ten digits of a BCI-naive subject can serve as a platform for a brain
computer interface (BCI) that could be used in an interactive application such
as robotic vehicle operation. The ten fingertips are used to evoke
somatosensory brain responses, thus defining a tactile brain computer interface
(tBCI). Experimental results on subjects performing online (real-time) tBCI,
using stimuli with a moderately fast inter-stimulus-interval (ISI), provide a
validation of the tBCI prototype, while the feasibility of the concept is
illuminated through information-transfer rates obtained through the case study.Comment: Haptic and Audio Interaction Design 2013, Daejeon, Korea, April
