Purpose:
This paper studies the feasibility of frontal positioning of electrode to detect electroencephalographic signals.
Methods:
The experiments were conducted using a board with light-emitting diodes (LEDs) designed to stimulate SSVEP and FVEP. The flashing frequencies were conducted at 15, 23, and 31 Hz. We used the Quick Amp brain wave amplifier to collect brain wave signals at a sampling rate of 1 kHz using a frequency filter band of 10-100 Hz.
Results:
We found that the energy power of VEP will gradually increase from Oz position to Fp2 position. We analyze the data, proving that the Fp2 position can also be used to collect VEP data.
Conclusions:
Traditional measurements at the Oz location are limited because of the interference from human hair, and an additional electrode is required to detect eye movement and filter this electro-oculogram signal. Our proposed method can effectively acquire critical visually evoked potential and electro-oculogram signals without the electrode at the Oz location, which require extensive preparation of removing hair strands. We also reduced the number of electrodes used in receiving electroencephalographic signals. The frontal electrode positioning could be a remarkable breakthrough to design brain computer interface.
