| description | This study embarks on a comprehensive investigation of the effectiveness of repetitive transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)-based neuromodulation in augmenting steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), alongside exploring pertinent electroencephalography (EEG) biomarkers for assessing brain states and evaluating tDCS efficacy. EEG data were garnered across three distinct task modes (eyes open, eyes closed, and SSVEP stimulation) and two neuromodulation patterns (sham-tDCS and anodal-tDCS). Brain arousal and brain functional connectivity were measured by extracting features of fractal EEG and information flow gain, respectively. Anodal-tDCS led to diminished offsets and enhanced information flow gains, indicating improvements in both brain arousal and brain information transmission capacity. Additionally, anodal-tDCS markedly enhanced SSVEP-BCIs performance as evidenced by increased amplitudes and accuracies, whereas sham-tDCS exhibited lesser efficacy. This study proffers invaluable insights into the application of neuromodulation methods for bolstering BCI performance, and concurrently authenticates two potent electrophysiological markers for multifaceted characterization of brain states. |
