Effect of Stimulus Size and Shape on Steady-State Visually Evoked Potentials for Brain-Computer Interface Optimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Steady-state visually evoked potentials (SSVEP) can be elicited by a large variety of stimuli. To the best of our knowledge, the size and shape effect of stimuli has never been investigated in the literature. We study the relationship between the visual parameters (size and shape) of the stimulation and the resulting brain response. A tentative physiological interpretation is proposed and the potential of the effect in a BrainComputer Interface is outlined.

Comparison Between Different Methods of Feature Extraction in BCI Systems Based on SSVEP
There are different feature extraction methods in brain-computer interfaces (BCI) based on Steady-State Visually Evoked Potentials (SSVEP) systems. This paper presents a comparison of five methods for stimulation frequency detection in SSVEP-based BCI systems. The techniques are based on Power Spectrum Density Analysis (PSDA), Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Hilbert- Huang Transform (H...
متن کاملTowards an Optimization of Stimulus Parameters for Brain-Computer Interfaces Based on Steady State Visual Evoked Potentials
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...
متن کاملSimultaneous Detection of P300 and Steady-State Visually Evoked Potentials for Hybrid Brain-Computer Interface
OBJECTIVE We study the feasibility of a hybrid Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) combining simultaneous visual oddball and Steady-State Visually Evoked Potential (SSVEP) paradigms, where both types of stimuli are superimposed on a computer screen. Potentially, such a combination could result in a system being able to operate faster than a purely P300-based BCI and encode more targets than a purely...
متن کاملNovel Characterization of the Steady-State Visual Evoked Potential Spectrum of EEG
Steady-State Visual Evoked Potentials (SSVEPs) are oscillations of the electroencephalogram (EEG) observed over the occipital area that exhibit a frequency corresponding to a repetitively flashing visual stimulus. SSVEPs have proven to be very consistent signals for rapid EEG-based braincomputer interface (BCI) control. However, due in part to perceptual and neurophysiological aspects, SSVEP si...
متن کاملSteady State Visually Evoked Potentials detection using a single electrode consumer-grade EEG device for BCI applications
Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) implement a direct communication pathway between the brain of an user and an external device, as a computer or a machine in general. One of the most used brain responses to implement non-invasive BCIs is the so called steady-state visually evoked potential (SSVEP). This periodic response is generated when an user gazes to a light flickering at a constant frequen...
