Fig. 1. Accuracy of phantom finger control in two BCI operating modes
In the first and second operating modes, the stimuli used were flashing events onset and offset, respectively.
Fig. 2. Number of type 1 and type 2 errors in both operating modes with subjects attempting to issue a command to flex the target finger by focusing their attention on the light marker
Statistically significant difference ( Wilcoxon test, p < 0.05) was observed when comparing averaged type 1 and type 2 errors for each operating mode.
