Abstract

Brain-computer interfaces offer a valuable input modality, which unfortunately comes also with a high degree of uncertainty. There are simple methods to improve detection accuracy after the incoming brain activity has already been classified, which can be divided into (1) gathering additional evidence from other sources of information, and (2) transforming the unstable classification results to be more easy to control. The methods described are easy to implement, but it is essential to apply them in the right way. This paper provides an overview of the different techniques, showing where to apply them and comparing the effects. Detection accuracy is important, but there are trade-offs to consider. Future research should investigate the effectiveness of these methods in their context of use, as well as the optimal settings to obtain the right balance between functionality and meeting the user's expectations for maximum acceptance.
