Summary

• shows how SSVEP works
• notes on SSVEP

Learnings

• SSVEP harmonics were clearly observed within the frequency range that showed an upperbound frequency around 90Hz
• amplitude of the harmonics decreases when the frequency of the harmonics increases
• modulating SSVEPs can be categorized into three groups
  • Frequency tracking
  • Phase tracking
  • Attention tracking
• two stimuli with the same frequency and a 180-degree phase difference can result in two SSVEP signals that are negatively correlated
• Advanced stimulus coding methods (e.g., mixed frequency and phase coding) can significantly improve the coding efficiency
• Another important factor affecting BCI performance is user attention. During BCI operation, visual attention needs to be maintained at a high level so that SSVEP parameters are stable across multiple trials.
