We used an electrophysiological measure of selective stimulus processing (the steady-state visual evoked potential, SSVEP) to investigate feature-specific attention to color cues. Subjects viewed a display consisting of spatially intermingled red and blue dots that continually shifted their positions at random. The red and blue dots flickered at different frequencies and thereby elicited distin...

This paper presents a reusable, highly configurable application framework that seamlessly integrates SSVEP stimuli within a desktop-based virtual environment (VE) on standard PC equipment. Steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs) are brain signals that offer excellent information transfer rates (ITR) within brain– computer interface (BCI) systems while requiring only minimal training. Gen...

The present study investigated implicit and explicit recognition processes of rapidly perceptually learned objects by means of steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEP). Participants were initially exposed to object pictures within an incidental learning task (living/non-living categorization). Subsequently, degraded versions of some of these learned pictures were presented together with de...

This work presents the experimental design for recording Electroencephalography (EEG) signals in 20 test subjects submitted to Steady-state visually evoked potential (SSVEP). The stimuli were performed with frequencies of 7, 9, 11 and 13 Hz. Furthermore, implementation a classification system based on SSVEP-EEG from occipital region brain obtained Emotiv EPOC device is presented. These data use...

In general, a large amount of training data can effectively improve the classification performance Steady-State Visually Evoked Potential (SSVEP)-based Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) system. However, it will prolong time and considerably restrict practicality This study proposed SSVEP nonlinear signal model based on Volterra filter, which could reconstruct stable reference signals using relativ...

Binocular rivalry is a phenomenon in which perception spontaneously shifts between two different images that are dichoptically presented to the viewer. By elucidating the cortical networks responsible for these stochastic fluctuations in perception, we can potentially learn much about the neural correlates of visual awareness. We obtained concurrent EEG-fMRI data for a group of 20 healthy human...

In recent years, Brain Computer Interface (BCI) systems based on Steady-State Visual Evoked Potential (SSVEP) have received much attentions. In this study four different flickering frequencies in low frequency region were used to elicit the SSVEPs and were displayed on a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) monitor using LabVIEW. Two stimuli colors, green and violet were used in this study to investiga...

Implementing a complex spelling program using a steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP)-based brain-computer interface (BCI) remains a challenge due to difficulties in stimulus presentation and target identification. This study aims to explore the feasibility of mixed frequency and phase coding in building a high-speed SSVEP speller with a computer monitor. A frequency and phase approximat...

Positive affect has been associated with improvement in performance in various attentional domains. Negative affect has been associated with narrowing of attention and lowering of performance in attentional tasks. Previous behavioral studies have put forth the diffuse mental state idea as the mechanism of these effects, where attentional resources are more evenly distributed during positive aff...
