Abstract
The objective is to increase the number of selections in brain computer interfaces (BCI) by recording and analyzing the steady state visual evoked potential response to dual stimulation. A BCI translates the VEP signals into user commands. The frequency band from which stimulation frequency can be selected is limited for SSVEP. This paper discusses a method to increase the number of commands by using a suitable combination of frequencies for stimulation. A biopotential amplifier based on the driven right leg circuit (DRL) is used to record 60 s epochs of the SSVEP (O(z)-A(1)) on 15 subjects using simultaneous overlapped stimulation (6, 7, 12, 13 and 14 Hzs and corresponding half frequencies). The power spectrum of each recording is obtained by frequency domain averaging of 400 ms SSVEPs and the spectral peaks were normalized. The spectral peaks of the combination frequencies of stimulation are predominant compared to individual stimulating frequencies. This method increases the number of selections by using a limited number of stimulating frequencies in BCI. For example, six selections are possible by generating only three frequencies.

Development of an SSVEP-based BCI spelling system adopting a QWERTY-style LED keyboard.

TL;DR: Through preliminary offline experiments and online experiments, it is confirmed that human SSVEPs elicited by visual flickering stimuli with a frequency resolution of 0.1 Hz could be classified with classification accuracy high enough to be used for a practical brain-computer interface (BCI) system.

Multivariate synchronization index for frequency recognition of SSVEP-based brain-computer interface.

TL;DR: A novel multivariate synchronization index (MSI) for frequency recognition was proposed and showed better performance than the widely used canonical correlation analysis (CCA) and minimum energy combination (MEC), especially for short data length and a small number of channels.

Multiple Frequencies Sequential Coding for SSVEP-Based Brain-Computer Interface

TL;DR: The current study shows that MFSC is feasible and efficient; the performance of SSVEP-based BCI based on MFSC can be comparable to some existed systems; and it is proposed that the SSVEp-basedBCI under MFSC might be a promising choice in the future.

LASSO based stimulus frequency recognition model for SSVEP BCIs

TL;DR: This study proposes a LASSO model using the linear regression between electroencephalogram recordings and the standard square-wave signals of different frequencies to recognize SSVEP without the training stage and can assist to reduce the recording time without sacrificing the classification accuracy.
