Six experienced and five BCI-naive users participated in an experimental spelling set up based on five Japanese vowels. Obtained auditory evoked potentials resulted with encouragingly good and stable P300-responses in online BCI experiments. Our case study indicated that the headphone reproduced auditory (HRIR- based) spatial sound paradigm could be a viable alternative to the established multi-loudspeaker surround sound BCI-speller applications, as far as healthy pilot study users are concerned. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1501.04374v1
