Abstract

In this paper, we proposes a hybrid brain computer interface (BCI) system of the steady state visually evoked potential (SSVEP), and event-related de-synchronization (ERD) for humanoid navigation. This study also aims to demonstrate the possibility of using a low-cost hybrid BCI system. An experimental scenario is proposed in which a subject remotely controls a humanoid robot in a properly sized maze. Results show the performance of the BCI system were comparable to a keyboard-based interface. This study presents that hybrid approaches of simple BCI protocols extend usability and controllability of the low-cost BCI systems.
