Testing brain–computer interfaces with airplane pilots under new motor imagery tasks

Abstract

The purpose of a brain–computer interface (BCI) is the recording of brain signals to translate them into commands. This work proposes new naturalistic and intuitive motor imagery (MI) BCI task for aircraft Pilots for a BCI System, and explore if they take advantage of their previous motor experience in MI–BCI experiments. Results show that Pilots get better performance than a control group and that it is possible to get good classification accuracy results with new naturalistic MI tasks.
