Description
Summary:Introduction The ultimate objective of the metaverse is to create a new digital life system using brain-computer interface (BCI) technology that integrates and even enhances reality and virtuality, among which the efficient and natural interaction technology between the virtual and real world is one of the key technologies of the metaverse. Augmented reality-based BCI (AR-BCI) technology provides a channel for direct interaction between the brain and the virtual world by decoding the human brain's response to AR stimuli in real-time, thus the development of the metaverse requires the advancement of AR-BCI technology.Method This paper began with the concepts and interrelationships between the metaverse, BCI, and AR technologies. Then the technical characteristics and potential applications of AR-BCI were introduced, and the research progress of three typical AR-BCI paradigms, including SSVEP, P300, and MI, were then summarized.Conclusion The survey results indicated that the use of optical see-through glasses to present the SSVEP paradigm has become the key breakthrough direction of AR-BCI research at present. Medical care and robot control are currently the main application areas of AR-BCI. And in the future, AR-BCI will be an important booster to promote the rapid evolution of the metaverse.
