    A New Benchmark Dataset for P300 Erp-Based Bci Applications
    (Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2023-04-01) Çakar, Tuna; Özkan, Hüseyin; Musellim, Serkan; Arslan, Suayb S.; Yağan, Mehmet; Alp, Nihan
    Because of its non-invasive nature, one of the most commonly used event-related potentials in brain -computer interface (BCI) system designs is the P300 electroencephalogram (EEG) signal. The fact that the P300 response can easily be stimulated and measured is particularly important for participants with severe motor disabilities. In order to train and test P300-based BCI speller systems in more realistic high-speed settings, there is a pressing need for a large and challenging benchmark dataset. Various datasets already exist in the literature but most of them are not publicly available, and they either have a limited number of participants or utilize relatively long stimulus duration (SD) and inter-stimulus intervals (ISI). They are also typically based on a 36 target (6 x 6) character matrix. The use of long ISI, in particular, not only reduces the speed and the information transfer rates (ITRs) but also oversimplifies the P300 detection. This leaves a limited challenge to state-of-the-art machine learning and signal processing algorithms. In fact, near-perfect P300 classification accuracies are reported with the existing datasets. Therefore, one certainly needs a large-scale dataset with challenging settings to fully exploit the recent advancements in algorithm design (machine learning and signal processing) and achieve high-performance speller results. To this end, in this article we introduce a new freely-and publicly-accessible P300 dataset obtained using 32-channel EEG, in the hope that it will lead to new research findings and eventually more efficient BCI designs. The introduced dataset comprises 18 participants performing a 40 -target (5 x 8) cued-spelling task, with reduced SD (66.6 ms) and ISI (33.3 ms) for fast spelling. We have also processed, analyzed, and character-classified the introduced dataset and we presented the accuracy and ITR results as a benchmark. The introduced dataset and the codes of our experiments are publicly accessible at https://data .mendeley.com /datasets /vyczny2r4w.(c) 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

    Emg-Based Bci for Picar Mobilization
    (IEEE, 2022-09-14) Yilmaz, Yasin; Günden, Burak Bahri; Ertekin, Efe; Sayar, Alperen; Çakar, Tuna; Arslan, Şefik Şuayb
    In this study, the main scope was to develop a brain-computer interface (BCI) with the use of PiCar and EEG/ERP devices. Thus, it is aimed to facilitate the lives of people with certain diseases and disabilities. The ultimate goal of this project has been to direct and control a BCI-based PiCar concerning the signals captured via the EEG/ERP device. With the EEG headset, the EMG signals of the gestures (facial expressions) of the participant were captured. With the collected data, filtering and other preprocessing methods were applied to have noise-free signals. In the preprocessing, the detrending method was used to clean the data set which showed a constantly increasing trend, to a certain range, and zero trends. The denoising (Wavelet Denoising) and outlier detection/elimination methods (OneClassSVM) were used for noise elimination. The SMOTE oversampling method was used for data augmentation. Welch's method was used to get band powers from the signals. With the use of augmented data, several machine learning algorithms were applied such as Support Vector Machine, Logistic Regression, Linear Discriminant Analysis, Random forest Classifier, Gradient Boosting Classifier, Multinomial Naive Bayes, Decision tree, K-Nearest Neighbor, and voting classifier. The developed models were used to predict the direction that is passed as an input to PiCar's API. After that, PiCar was controlled concerning the predicted direction with HTTP GET requests. In this project, the OpenBCI headset and the Brainflow library for EEG/EMG signal obtaining and processing were used. Also, the Tkinter library was used for the Graphical user interface and Django for establishing a server on PiCar's brain which is RaspberryPi. © 2022 IEEE.
