BACKGROUND: Mechanically ventilated patients may experience respiratory suffering, which is difficult to assess when verbal communication is impaired. We evaluated the performance of a steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP)-based brain-computer interface (BCI) designed to enable self-reporting of dyspnoea in this context.
METHODS: Forty-nine healthy volunteers were studied under five respiratory conditions: normal breathing (NB), inspiratory resistive loading (IRL), inspiratory threshold loading (ITL), CO₂ inhalation (CO₂), and a return to NB as wash-out (NBWO). Respiratory discomfort was evaluated using a visual analogue scale (VAS). Two BCIs models were tested: a detection BCI (D-BCI), designed to discriminate between 'breathing is OK' and 'breathing is difficult', and a quantification BCI in the form of a LED-based analogue scale (LAS), composed of five light-emitting diodes. Visual stimuli were delivered at different frequency sets: 12-15 Hz, 15-20 Hz, and 20-30 Hz for the D-BCI; low frequencies (13-17-19-23-29 Hz) and high frequencies (41-43-47-53-59 Hz) for the LAS. Performance was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves; the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was the primary outcome.
RESULTS: Participants reported significant respiratory discomfort during IRL, ITL, and CO₂ conditions in the D-BCI groups, and during ITL and CO₂ in the LAS groups, as reflected by higher dyspnoea VAS scores compared to NB. The best-performing frequency sets were 20-30 Hz for the D-BCI (AUC 0.89 [0.89-0.90]) and low frequencies for the LAS (AUC 0.84 [0.83-0.85]).
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that an SSVEP-based BCI can sucessfully detect and quantify experimentally induced dyspnoea in healthy individuals. Further research is needed to evaluate its clinical applicability for assessing dyspnoea in non-communicative patients.
