A Survey of Stimulation Methods Used in SSVEP-Based BCIs

Figure 2

Typical waveform of an EEG signal (Oz-Cz) acquired during visual light stimulation with a frequency of 15 Hz and its frequency spectrum. (a) SSVEP waveform resulting from the time-locked average of 10 realizations. A transient VEP can be observed at the moment where the stimulation began and a clear oscillation (the steady state VEP) can be seen afterwards; (b) Frequency content of the signal in (a). The SSVEP manifests itself in oscillations at 15 Hz and higher harmonics.
