Abstract

This online study introduces an auditory spelling interface that eliminates the necessity for visual representation. In up to two sessions, a group of healthy subjects (N=21) was asked to use a text entry application, utilizing the spatial cues of the AMUSE paradigm (Auditory Multi-class Spatial ERP). The speller relies on the auditory sense both for stimulation and the core feedback. Without prior BCI experience, 76% of the participants were able to write a full sentence during the first session. By exploiting the advantages of a newly introduced dynamic stopping method, a maximum writing speed of 1.41 char/min (7.55 bits/min) could be reached during the second session (average: 0.94 char/min, 5.26 bits/min).

Methodology

Participants surrounded by six speakers at ear height in circle (60° spacing, 65 cm radius). Each direction associated with unique combination of tone (base frequency + harmonics) and band-pass filtered noise. Two-step hex-o-spell interface for character selection. Session 1: calibration (48 trials, 8 per direction, 15 iterations each) followed by online spelling with 15 fixed iterations. Session 2: calibration followed by online spelling with dynamic stopping method (4-15 iterations). Spatio-temporal feature extraction using r2 coefficient and interval selection (2-4 intervals for early and late components, 112-224 features total). Linear binary classifier with shrinkage regularization (Ledoit-Wolf). Decision making based on median classifier scores across iterations.

save(path: str, overwrite: bool = False, offset: int = 0)[source]#

Save datasets to files by creating one subdirectory for each dataset:

        0-raw.fif | 0-epo.fif
        description.json
        raw_preproc_kwargs.json (if raws were preprocessed)
        window_kwargs.json (if this is a windowed dataset)
        window_preproc_kwargs.json  (if windows were preprocessed)
        target_name.json (if target_name is not None and dataset is raw)
    1/
        1-raw.fif | 1-epo.fif
        description.json
        raw_preproc_kwargs.json (if raws were preprocessed)
        window_kwargs.json (if this is a windowed dataset)
        window_preproc_kwargs.json  (if windows were preprocessed)
        target_name.json (if target_name is not None and dataset is raw)
Parameters:
  • path (str) –

    Directory in which subdirectories are created to store

    -raw.fif | -epo.fif and .json files to.

  • overwrite (bool) – Whether to delete old subdirectories that will be saved to in this call.

  • offset (int) – If provided, the integer is added to the id of the dataset in the concat. This is useful in the setting of very large datasets, where one dataset has to be processed and saved at a time to account for its original position.
