Brain-computer interface (BCI) based on steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) have attracted much attention in the field of intelligent robotics. Traditional SSVEP-based BCI systems mostly use synchronized triggers without identifying whether the user is in the control or non-control state, resulting in a system that lacks autonomous control capability. Therefore, this paper proposed a SSVEP asynchronous state recognition method, which constructs an asynchronous state recognition model by fusing multiple time-frequency domain features of electroencephalographic (EEG) signals and combining with a linear discriminant analysis (LDA) to improve the accuracy of SSVEP asynchronous state recognition. Furthermore, addressing the control needs of disabled individuals in multitasking scenarios, a brain-machine fusion system based on SSVEP-BCI asynchronous cooperative control was developed. This system enabled the collaborative control of wearable manipulator and robotic arm, where the robotic arm acts as a "third hand", offering significant advantages in complex environments. The experimental results showed that using the SSVEP asynchronous control algorithm and brain-computer fusion system proposed in this paper could assist users to complete multitasking cooperative operations. The average accuracy of user intent recognition in online control experiments was 93.0%, which provides a theoretical and practical basis for the practical application of the asynchronous SSVEP-BCI system.
基于稳态视觉诱发电位(SSVEP)的脑机接口(BCI)在智能机器人领域备受关注。传统的基于SSVEP的BCI系统大多使用同步触发,而不识别用户是处于控制状态还是非控制状态,导致系统缺乏自主控制能力。因此,本文提出了一种SSVEP异步状态识别方法,该方法通过融合脑电(EEG)信号的多个时频域特征并结合线性判别分析(LDA)来构建异步状态识别模型,以提高SSVEP异步状态识别的准确率。此外,针对残障人士在多任务场景下的控制需求,开发了一种基于SSVEP-BCI异步协同控制的脑机融合系统。该系统实现了可穿戴机械手和机器人手臂的协同控制,其中机器人手臂充当“第三只手”,在复杂环境中具有显著优势。实验结果表明,使用本文提出的SSVEP异步控制算法和脑机融合系统能够协助用户完成多任务协同操作。在线控制实验中用户意图识别的平均准确率为93.0%,为异步SSVEP-BCI系统的实际应用提供了理论和实践依据。
