A direct brain interface based on event-related potentials

IEEE Trans Rehabil Eng. 2000 Jun;8(2):180-5. doi: 10.1109/86.847809.

Abstract

Cross-correlation between a trigger-averaged event-related potential (ERP) template and continuous electrocorticogram was used to detect movement-related ERP's. The accuracy of ERP detection for the five best subjects (of 17 studied), had hit percentages >90% and false positive percentages <10%. These cases were considered appropriate for operation of a direct brain interface.
