Attention and P300-based BCI performance in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Open accessAbstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the support of attentional and memory processes in controlling a P300-based brain-computer interface (BCI) in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Eight people with ALS performed two behavioral tasks: (i) a rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) task, screening the temporal filtering capacity and the speed of the update of the attentive filter, and (ii) a change detection task, screening the memory capacity and the spatial filtering capacity. The participants were also asked to perform a P300-based BCI spelling task. By using correlation and regression analyses, we found that only the temporal filtering capacity in the RSVP task was a predictor of both the P300-based BCI accuracy and of the amplitude of the P300 elicited performing the BCI task. We concluded that the ability to keep the attentional filter active during the selection of a target influences performance in BCI control.

Selective attention, as measured by accuracy in an RSVP task, is closely linked to an individual's ability to update changing information over time and may also be connected to performance in P300 speller tasks.
“Selective attention, as measured by accuracy in an RSVP task, is closely linked to an individual's ability to update changing information over time and may also be connected to performance in P300 speller tasks [20], [47], [48].”

The Behavioral data analysis section distinguishes RSVP T1 accuracy, an index of selective attentional filtering, from T2 accuracy, an index of updating the attentional filter. The Results report that T1 accuracy correlated with P300-speller measures, supporting the possible connection to speller performance, but found no significant correlation between T2 accuracy and those measures. The paper does not establish the claimed close link between selective attention and updating changing information over time. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
