Switching characters between stimuli improves P300 speller accuracy

In this paper, an alternative stimulus presentation paradigm for the P300 speller is introduced. Similar to the checkerboard paradigm it minimizes the occurrence of the two most common causes of spelling errors: adjacency distraction and double flashes. Moreover, in contrast to the checkerboard paradigm, this new stimulus sequence does not increase the time required per stimulus iteration. Our new paradigm is compared to the basic row-column paradigm and the results indicate that, on average, the accuracy is improved.
