BCI/NF Acceptability Tool

Welcome,

This is an online tool to facilitate the assessment of acceptability and acceptance of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and neurofeedback (NF). The tool is based on the model displayed below which is presented in our article named "The acceptability of BCIs and neurofeedback: presenting a systematic review, a field-specific model and an online tool to facilitate assessment" published in [upcoming]. It aims at providing researchers in the BCI and NF fields with an adapted questionnaire to evaluate the acceptability/acceptance of their device.

To download a questionnaire to assess the acceptability of BCI/NF in your context, please answer the following questions and click the button named "Download your questionnaire". No information entered in this webpage will be saved.

Complete this sentence to provide a description of the goal of your study in a few words. People in my study will use BCI/NF to...

Is your study a clinical one?

Will your participants have cognitive impairments?

Will your participants be active in the control of the BCI/NF?

Will your participants receive support in the use of the BCI/NF (by clinicians, experimenters or professionals)?

Will there be financial cost for the target population to use the BCI/NF?

Will your participants use the BCI/NF during only one session?

Recommendations to use the questionnaire:

Check that all the questions are grammatically correct and relevant in your context of assessment. If they are not, either change the context you provided in this page before generating your questionnaire or directly change the formulation of the question (in addition, tense should be consistent across questions).
The questions can be answered using a continuous analog-scale or a Likert-scale.

The use of increasing or decreasing values depending on the questions is provided in the questionnaire.
Please adapt the answering method to the abilities of your participants. For instance, a description of each of the Likert-points should be provided to people with cognitive impairments.
We recommend to use a scale from "Totally desagree " to "Totally agree"

Each factor is assessed using 3 questions to improve the reliability of the evaluation. When more than 3 questions are proposed to you, you can either keep them all, or choose the 3 which seem to you to be the most relevant to your context.
The order of presentation of the questions among a factor should be randomized across participants. The factors can also be presented with a random order.

To analyse the results of the questionnaire:
Among a factor sum the answers of the different questions. Analyse the results of each factor independently.
