Background:

Steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) is a common brain-machine interface (BMI) tool.
Decoding affective information from SSVEP, particularly at frequencies above the critical flicker frequency, remains underexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the feasibility of decoding affective information from high-frequency SSVEP signals.
To explore the potential of using invisible 60 Hz flickering stimuli for affective decoding.

Main Methods:

Participants viewed visual stimuli (positive, neutral, negative) at 60 Hz, above the critical flicker frequency.
SSVEP signals were recorded and analyzed to decode affective and semantic information.
Stimuli were presented for 1 second, with pre-stimulus signals also analyzed.

Main Results:

Affective valence was successfully decoded from 60 Hz SSVEP signals during stimulus presentation.
Semantic categories could not be decoded from the SSVEP signals.
Neither affective nor semantic information was decodable from pre-stimulus brain activity.

Conclusions:

Affective information can be decoded from high-frequency SSVEP signals.
This finding supports the development of affective BMI systems.
The use of high-frequency, invisible stimuli reduces participant fatigue.
