Volume control is necessary to adjust sound levels for a comfortable audio or video listening experience. This study aims to develop an automatic volume control system based on a brain-computer interface (BCI). We thus focused on a BCI using an auditory oddball paradigm, and conducted two types of experiments. In the first experiment, the participant was asked to pay attention to a target sound where the sound level was high (70 dB) compared with the other sounds (60 dB). The brain activity measured by electroencephalogram showed large positive activity (P300) for the target sound, and classification of the target and nontarget sounds achieved an accuracy of 0.90. The second experiment adopted a two-target paradigm where a low sound level (50 dB) was introduced as the second target sound. P300 was also observed in the second experiment, and a value of 0.76 was obtained for the binary classification of the target and nontarget sounds. Further, we found that better accuracy was observed in large sound levels compared to small ones. These results suggest the possibility of using BCI for automatic volume control; however, it is necessary to improve its accuracy for application in daily life. |
