Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Biomedical Engineering
Signal Processing

Background:

Steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) is widely used in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) due to its noise resistance.
Spontaneous electroencephalography (EEG) frequency components can interfere with SSVEP signals, impacting BCI performance.
Improving SSVEP-based BCI accuracy and data transfer rates requires methods to mitigate this interference.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a novel parameter, the stability coefficient (SC), for analyzing SSVEP signals.
To enhance the accuracy and efficiency of SSVEP-based BCIs by minimizing interference from spontaneous EEG.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the SC method compared to traditional techniques.

Main Methods:

Wavelet analysis was employed to define and calculate the stability coefficient (SC).
The electrode exhibiting the highest SC was selected for signal analysis.
The SC method was compared against the power spectrum (PS) method using simulated BCI data derived from real SSVEP data.

Main Results:

The stability coefficient (SC) effectively measures frequency stability in SSVEP signals.
The SC method demonstrated superior performance over the traditional power spectrum (PS) method.
The SC method showed particular advantages when analyzing short time-window data.

Conclusions:

The stability coefficient (SC) offers a promising approach to enhance SSVEP-based BCI performance.
Selecting electrodes based on signal stability can improve BCI accuracy.
The SC method is a valuable tool for SSVEP analysis, especially in time-constrained BCI applications.
