brain-computer interfaces

Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology facilitates a direct connection between the brain and external devices by interpreting neural signals. It is critical to have datasets that contain patient's native languages while developing BCI-based solutions for neurological disorders. However, present BCI research lacks appropriate language-specific datasets, particularly for languages such as Telugu, which is spoken by more than 90 million people in India.

To address the challenges faced by patients with neurodegenerative disorders, Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) solutions are being developed. However, many current datasets lack inclusion of languages spoken by patients, such as Telugu, which is spoken by over 90 million people in India. To bridge this gap, we have created a dataset comprising Electroencephalograph (EEG) signal samples of commonly used Telugu words. Using the Open-BCI Cyton device, EEG samples were captured from volunteers as they pronounced these words.

Abstract— Objective: Recently, pupil oscillation synchronized with a steady visual stimulus was employed for an input of an interface. The system is inspired by steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) BCIs, but it eliminates the need for contact with the participant because it does not need electrodes to measure electroencephalography. However, the stimulation frequency is restricted to being below 2.5 Hz because of the mechanics of pupillary vibration and information transfer rate (ITR) is lower than SSVEP BCIs.

Dataset description

This dataset contains EEG signals from 73 subjects (42 healthy; 31 disabled) using an ERP-based speller to control different brain-computer interface (BCI) applications. The demographics of the dataset can be found in info.txt. Additionally, you will find the results of the original study broken down by subject, the code to build the deep-learning models used in [1] (i.e., EEG-Inception, EEGNet, DeepConvNet, CNN-BLSTM) and a script to load the dataset.

The EEG data were acquired from 16 healthy young adults (age range 22 - 30 years) with no neurological, physical, or psychiatric illness history. All the participants were naive BCI users who had not participated in any related experiments before. Informed consent was received from all participants.
