Presentation Title: Dynamic Visual Imagery for Shared Robotic Control via a Multiuser Brain–Computer Interface
Abstract: Individuals with complex communication and motor limitations have achieved robot control using brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) through mental imagery paradigms. Specifically, our lab has recently demonstrated the effectiveness of one type of intuitive mental imagery, namely, visual imagery, for online BCI control. This investigation proposes to elucidate whether a novel dynamic visual imagery task, i.e., imagined robot motion during a dyadic interaction, elicits reliable machine-discernible electroencephalography (EEG) signals. To address this question, this research aims to characterize the neural oscillatory processes between coupled brains of adults via shared, dynamic visual imagery-based control of robot-mediated trials in an EEG-based hyperscanning setup, and to validate the performance of the dynamic visual imagery based-multiuser BCI in terms of accuracy. This research extends the literature on dynamic visual imagery as a cognitive process for supporting shared environmental interaction through dyadic endogenous neural activity via assistive multiuser BCIs.
