Collapse Button Quick Abstract
Steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEP) are a popular method to control brain–computer interfaces (BCI). Here, we present a BCI for selection of virtual reality (VR) objects by decoding the steady-state visual evoked fields (SSVEF), the magnetic analogue to the SSVEP in the magnetoencephalogram (MEG). In a conventional approach, we performed online prediction by Fourier transform (FT) in combination with a multivariate classifier. As a comparative study, we report our approach to increase the BCI-system performance in an offline evaluation. Therefore, we transferred the canonical correlation analysis (CCA), originally employed to recognize relatively low dimensional SSVEPs in the electroencephalogram (EEG), to SSVEF recognition in higher dimensional MEG recordings. We directly compare the performance of both approaches and conclude that CCA can greatly improve system performance in our MEG-based BCI-system. Moreover, we find that application of CCA to large multi-sensor MEG could provide an effective feature extraction method that automatically determines the sensors that are informative for the recognition of SSVEFs.

Collapse Button Quick Abstract
Assistive devices controlled by human brain activity could help severely paralyzed patients to perform everyday tasks such as reaching and grasping objects. However, the continuous control of anthropomorphic prostheses requires control of a large number of degrees of freedom which is challenging with the currently achievable information transfer rate of noninvasive Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI). In this work we present an autonomous grasping system that allows grasping of natural objects even with the very low information transfer rates obtained in noninvasive BCIs. The grasp of one out of several objects is initiated by decoded voluntary brain wave modulations. A universal online grasp planning algorithm was developed that grasps the object selected by the user in a virtual reality environment. Our results with subjects demonstrate that training effort required to control the system is very low (<10 min) and that the decoding accuracy increases over time. We also found that the system works most reliably when subjects freely select objects and receive virtual grasp feedback.
