The brain-computer interface (BCI) based on rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) provides a novel approach for efficiently optimizing traditional machine-based target detection, revealing a broad application prospect in security, entrainment, monitoring, etc. A bottleneck of current RSVP-BCI is that its detectable result is limited to a binary way, i.e., target vs. non-target, more detailed and important information about targets, such as the precise position, remains undetectable. To solve this problem, this study investigated the relationship between targets positions (up, down, left, right) and electroencephalogram (EEG) characteristics, and tested the separability of EEGs induced by the four targets positions in an online RSVP-BCI. Twelve healthy subjects participated in this study, event-related potential (ERP), topographies, laterality index (LI), discriminant canonical pattern matching (DCPM) methods were used to analyzed the EEG data. Consequently, left-right targets induced ipsilateral ERPs between bilateral hemispheres; when targets appeared at up and down positions, opposite ERPs were found between frontal and occipital areas; up-down and left-right difference reached its maximum in the 140~190ms and 190~240ms temporal window, respectively. Single-trial classification showed five-class balanced accuracy (BACC) (non-target, target at up/ down/ left/ right position) was 71.02% and 67.91% for offline and online sessions, respectively. The results provide new understanding of the RSVP features for developing BCIs.

With the rapid development of deep learning, Electroencephalograph(EEG) emotion recognition has played a significant role in affective brain-computer interfaces. Many advanced emotion recognition models have achieved excellent results. However, current research is mostly conducted in laboratory settings for emotion induction, which lacks sufficient ecological validity and differs significantly from real-world scenarios.

In recent years, electroencephalogram (EEG)-based emotion recognition technology has made remarkable advances. However, a subtle but crucial problem caused by the sliding window method has long been overlooked, which is the serious quantity mismatch between stimuli and short-term EEG frames. This may be an important factor limiting the performance of the emotion recognition systems.

Objective: In the field of brain-computer interface (BCI), achieving high information transfer rates (ITR) with a large number of targets remains a challenge. This study aims to address this issue by developing a novel code-modulated visual evoked potential (c-VEP) BCI system capable of handling an extensive instruction set while maintaining high performance.

Method: We propose a c-VEP BCI system that employs narrow-band random sequences as visual stimuli and utilizes a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based EEG2Code decoding algorithm.

Easing the behavioral restrictions of those in need of care not only improves their own quality of life (QoL) but also reduces the burden on care workers and may help reduce the number of care workers in countries with declining birthrates. The brain-machine interface (BMI), in which appliances and machines are controlled only by brain activity, can be used in nursing care settings to alleviate behavioral restrictions and reduce stress for those in need of care. It is also expected to reduce the workload of care workers.
