title: Exploring multiple protocols for a brain-computer interface mouse.
abstract: In recent years, various visual protocols have been explored for P300-based BCI. In stimulus-driven BCI paradigms such as P300 BCIs it is vital to optimise the stimulation protocol as much as possible in order to achieve the best performance. Due to the inherent variability between subjects and the complex nature of the brain it is unlikely that an optimal protocol will be identified through a single iteration of random exploration. That is why in this paper we explore 8 different visual protocol configurations based on recent literature, in the hope of identifying key features that can later be used to create further improved protocols. Results indicate that luminosity changes, the standard method of stimulation used in visual P300 BCI protocols, do provide the best performance of the variations presented here.
