Improving user experience of SSVEP BCI through low amplitude depth and high frequency stimuli design.

ABSTRACT: Steady-States Visually Evoked Potentials (SSVEP) refer to the sustained rhythmic activity observed in surface electroencephalography (EEG) in response to the presentation of repetitive visual stimuli (RVS). Due to their robustness and rapid onset, SSVEP have been widely used in Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI). However, typical SSVEP stimuli are straining to the eyes and present risks of triggering epileptic seizures. Reducing visual stimuli contrast or extending their frequency range both appear as relevant solutions to address these issues. It however remains sparsely documented how BCI performance is impacted by these features and to which extent user experience can be improved. We conducted two studies to systematically characterize the effects of frequency and amplitude depth reduction
