Abstract

All electroencephalography-based Brain-Computer Interfaces have to deal with signal artefacts produced by motor movements, such as jaw muscle clenching and eye movement. Instead of attempting to remove or ignoring these artefacts, recent studies have shown that meaningful information can be extracted from them. Ocular artefacts in particular, possess distinct features depending on the direction of the eye movement they originate from. These features have been used to extract the direction of eye movement using electrodes placed around the eyes, however recent studies have shown that the extraction is also possible with signal from the frontal and temporal electrodes of a standard 10-20 EEG cap. Information about the direction is useful to visual modality BCIs that require classi cation of simultaneously presented stimuli such as the code-modulated Visual Evoked Potentials speller. The current paper proposes a pipeline that uses ocular artefacts' direction and early stopping in order to increase the speed and subsequently the characters spelled per minute of the code-modulated Visual Evoked Potentials speller.
