- This paper can be considered a turning point in terms of spatial recognition and was the first to use brain-computer-interfaces (BCIs) to improve group decision making in visual search. Visual search (locating specific objects in complex scenes) is extensively studied in psychology due to its real-world importance and significantly, this paper has 1450 views. Our work showed that BCIs could improve group decisions in simple tasks. Crucially, this rigorous (10 participants, classifiers used cross-validation, statistically significant results), MoD-funded research proved this could also be done for visual search, paving the way to two further projects UKMoD- and MoD/US DoD-funded, respectively.
