OBJECTIVE Brain-computer interface (BCI) systems using steady state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs) have allowed healthy subjects to communicate. However, these systems may not work in severely disabled users because they may depend on gaze shifting. This study evaluates the hypothesis that overlapping stimuli can evoke changes in SSVEP activity sufficient to control a BCI. This would provide...

We investigate the modulation of post-stimulus endogenous and exogenous oscillations when a visual discrimination is made more difficult. We use exogenous frequency tagging to induce steady-state visually evoked potentials (SSVEP) while subjects perform a face-car discrimination task, the difficulty of which varies on a trial-to-trial basis by varying the noise (phase coherence) in the image. W...

Efforts to construct an effective brain-computer interface (BCI) system based on Steady State Visual Evoked Potentials (SSVEP) commonly focus on sophisticated mathematical methods for data analysis. The role of different stimulus features in evoking strong SSVEP is less often considered and the knowledge on the optimal stimulus properties is still fragmentary. The goal of this study was to prov...

Spatial filtering method and fast Fourier transform (FFT) based spectrum estimation method are applied to reveal the presence of steady state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) in multiple-electrodes electroencephalogram (EEG) signals used in Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) system. The SSVEP responses are elicited by visual stimuli in the form of flickering light emitting diode (LED) array and comp...

In this study, we used canonical correlation analysis (CCA), frequency component method (FCCM) and ensemble model to develop a steady state visual evoked potential brain-computer interface (SSVEP-BCI) with fifty-selective. For the proposed fifty-selective SSVEP-BCI only CCA, it was not possible obtain sufficient SSVEP induction. previous study where similar problem occurred, maximum accuracy 79...

Steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs) can be used successfully for brain-computer interfaces (BCI) with multiple commands and high information transfer rates. In this study, we investigated a novel affective SSVEP paradigm using flickering video clips of emotional human faces, and evaluated their performance in an 8-command BCI controlling a robotic arm in near real-time. Single-trial ...

Steady state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs)-based Brain-Computer interfaces (BCIs), as well as eyetracking devices, provide a pathway for re-establishing communication for people with severe disabilities. We fused these control techniques into a novel eyetracking/SSVEP hybrid system, which utilizes eye tracking for initial rough selection and the SSVEP technology for fine target activation. ...

정상상태시각유발전위 (Steady-State Visually Evoked Potentials)는 특정 주파수를 가진 시각자극에 대한 자연반응 신호이며 3.5Hz∼75Hz의 주파수 범위를 갖는 시각 자극에 의해 동일한 주파수로 후두엽 영역이 전기적 활성화되는 특성이 있다. 본 논문에서 이러한 SSVEP 특성을 기반으로 EEG 분석을 수행하는 실험 패러다임을 구축하여 행동유발특성을 가지는 특정 객체에 대한 영상입 력 시각자극에서의 주파수 패턴에 대응하는 EEG의 주파수 특징을 검출하고 이를 기반으로 객체와 관련된 행동유발특성을 Mirror Neuron System을 통해 측정한다. 이 때 측정된 EEG 기반 행동유발특성 데이터에 대한 선형판별분석을 수행하여 객체 패턴분류를 실시간으로 수행한다. 이러한 SS...

Steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEP) are the visual system responses to a repetitive visual stimulus flickering with the constant frequency and of great importance in the study of brain activity using scalp electroencephalography (EEG) recordings. However, the reference influence for the investigation of SSVEP is generally not considered in previous work. In this study a new approach t...

A Brain Computer Interface (BCI) creates a new communication channels for disabled peoples, the classical way of steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) based on (BCI) was focusing on multi-frequency and phases. In this study a novel high-speed SSVEP based on BCI, was implemented a new paradigms of SSVEP, which induced by irregular flickering with phase-tagged toward brain activity respons...
