BCIwiki (bciwiki.com) — A new brain-computer interfacing paradigm that stimulates with motion instead of flicker reached a mean accuracy of 85.67% in an online four-target experiment. The study was published in Frontiers in Neuroergonomics on August 20, 2026.
The authors say the code-modulated motion visual evoked potential (c-MVEP) paradigm uses pseudo-random sequences to stimulate objects with motion, avoiding the visual discomfort and fatigue linked to flickering stimuli. In the online experiment, it reached 85.67% mean accuracy with an average selection time of 2.61 s, lower than c-VEP (97.81%; 1.15 s) and SSVEP (93.42%; 1.94 s) but higher than SSMVEP (64.91%; 4.18 s); subjective ratings showed no clear preference between motion- and flicker-based paradigms, indicating comparable user comfort.
