description | The P300 Speller is a brain-computer interface system that allows victims of motor neuron diseases to regain the ability to communicate by typing characters into a computer by thought. Since the system has a relatively slow typing speed, different stimulus presentation paradigms have been proposed designed to allow users to input information faster by reducing the number of required stimuli or increase signal fidelity. This study compares the typing speeds of the Row-Column, Checkerboard, and Combinatorial Paradigms to examine how their performance compares in online and offline settings. When the different flashing patterns were tested in conjunction with other established optimization techniques such as language models and dynamic stopping, they did not make a significant impact on P300 speller performance. This result could indicate that further performance improvements on the system lie beyond optimizing flashing patterns. |
