 We have developed a new method for reducing the calibration time in somatosensory brain computer interface systems. This method uses tactile induced oscillations in the brain to improve the accuracy of the system without requiring extensive training. Our results show that this approach can reduce the calibration time by up to 39.3% making it more efficient and user friendly. Additionally, our approach could be beneficial for patients or users who are unable to use traditional BCI methods due to impaired afferent pathways.
