A Head-Up Display-Based P300 Brain–Computer Interface for Destination Selection

In this paper, we propose a P300 brain-computer interface (BCI) with visual stimuli presented on a head-up display and we apply this BCI for selecting destinations of a simulated vehicle in a virtual scene. To improve the usability of the selection system, we analyze the effects of the number of electroencephalogram (EEG) rounds on system performance. Experimental results from eight participants show that the BCI-based model of destination selection can be built with EEG data from eight channels, and participants can use this BCI to select a desired destination with an accuracy value of 93.6% ± 1.6% (mean value with standard error) in about 12 s of selection time. This paper lays a foundation for developing vehicles that use a BCI to select a desired destination from a list of predefined destinations and then use an autonomous navigation system to reach the desired destination.
