Περίληψη

Electroencephalography-based brain computer interfaces (BCIs) have been widely used in assistive applications for patients suffering from quadriplegia, or even the locked-in syndrome, to promote autonomy and control. Steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs) is a BCI stimulation protocol that has been employed widely in navigation applications, due to their efficiency and fast response time. In the current study, we use a previously developed SSVEP-based BCI for robotic car navigation with a low-cost EEG recording device, to compare the performance of the easier-to-use dry EEG-electrodes and the commonly-used wet electrodes. We also employ two different stimulus scenarios, a fixed one and an adaptive one optimized for each participant. We tested our system on 23 healthy participants in both an offline session and an online navigation task on a predefined route. The results indicate that our system with the combination of the low-cost EEG device and the dry electrodes achieves comparable performance to the same system using wet electrodes. Moreover, it ensures a more user-friendly and affordable alternative that could be adopted by a larger part of potential users.
