An experimental setup for delivery of vibrotactile feedback, including specific hardware and software arrangements, was specified. We compared vibrotactile and visual feedback, addressing the performance in presence of a complex visual task on the same (visual) or different (tactile) sensory channel. The preliminary experimental setup included a simulated BCI control. in which all parts reflected the computational and actuation process of an actual BCI, except the souce, which was simulated using a {\"{\i}}{\^{A}}¿{\^{A}}½noisy{\"{\i}}{\^{A}}¿{\^{A}}½ PC mouse. Results indicated that the vibrotactile channel can function as a valuable feedback modality with reliability comparable to the classical visual feedback. Advantages of using a vibrotactile feedback emerged when the visual channel was highly loaded by a complex task.}, pdf = {https://publications.idiap.ch/attachments/reports/2007/millan_2007_embs.pdf}, ipdmembership={learning}, }
