Paper Abstract:
|
The current study investigates the effect of 2 types of mental training on the performance of Brain-Computer interface (BCI) users. Sixty-eight healthy volunteers were randomly assigned to three groups: A Meditation group learned mindfulness meditation for 12 weeks, a Music group learned to play the classical guitar for 12 weeks, and a Control group with no intervention. The ability of participants to control a visual cursor by imagining certain mental tasks to complete a randomized sequence of selections tasks was assessed longitudinally at baseline and after intervention. Accuracy to complete the BCI tasks was calculated based on the percentages of true positives (TP) and true negatives (TN) during the selection time and non-selection time. The Meditation group showed significantly higher BCI accuracy comparing to Music group and Control group after the intervention |
