Title
Performance Evaluation of Walking Imagery Training Based on Virtual Environment in Brain-Computer Interfaces
Abstract
Motor imagery (MI) based on brain computer interfaces (BCIs) have been widely applied for upper limb motor rehabilitation. Due to the fact that a large number of disabled people need to restore or improve walking ability, it is also important to investigate the use of MI-based BCIs for lower limb motor rehabilitation. The brain activity of lower limb MI is more difficult to detect because of low reliability. The purpose of this study is to find a suitable paradigm of walking imagery to achieve better training effect and ensure reliable brain activity. We developed the text-based paradigm and the virtual environment (VE)-based paradigm, and evaluated their performance on identifying walking imagery from idle state.The experimental results provide evidences that the VE-based paradigm could improve the average classification accuracy. This paradigm would induce EEG patterns that make them easier for single-trial detection of walking imagery. This study has the potential to improve the reliability and robustness of walking imagery based BCIs.
