Research paper identifies key metrics for brain-computer interface spelling accuracy

This research paper investigates which performance metrics best correlate with the spelling rate accuracy in event-related potential (ERP)-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). The study analyzed 13 metrics across two datasets, a private LARESI dataset and the public OpenBMI dataset, to determine their effectiveness in reflecting user spelling performance, especially given the imbalanced data distributions common in ERP applications. The findings suggest that the Brier score, Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC), and metrics accounting for class imbalance like ROC AUC, PR AUC, AP, and pAUC are most indicative of spelling performance, encouraging their wider adoption in ERP-BCI experiments.
