Abstract

Background: A steady-state visual-evoked potential (SSVEP) is a brain response to visual stimuli modulated at certain frequencies; it has been widely used in electroencephalography (EEG)-based brain-computer interface research. However, there are few published SSVEP datasets for brain-computer interface. In this study, we obtained a new SSVEP dataset based on measurements from 30 participants, performed on 2 days; our dataset complements existing SSVEP datasets: (i) multi-band SSVEP datasets are provided, and all 3 possible frequency bands (low, middle, and high) were used for SSVEP stimulation; (ii) multi-day datasets are included; and (iii) the EEG datasets include simultaneously obtained physiological measurements, such as respiration, electrocardiography, electromyography, and head motion (accelerator).

Findings: To validate our dataset, we estimated the spectral powers and classification performance for the EEG (SSVEP) datasets and created an example plot to visualize the physiological time-series data. Strong SSVEP responses were observed at stimulation frequencies, and the mean classification performance of the middle frequency band was significantly higher than the low- and high-frequency bands. Other physiological data also showed reasonable results.

Conclusions: Our multi-band, multi-day SSVEP datasets can be used to optimize stimulation frequencies because they enable simultaneous investigation of the characteristics of the SSVEPs evoked in each of the 3 frequency…

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 30 participants or records.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
