MP: A steady-state visual evoked potential dataset based on multiple paradigms

In the field of steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP), stimulus paradigms are regularly arranged or mimic the style of a keyboard with the same size. However, stimulation paradigms have important effects on the performance of SSVEP systems, which correlate with the electroencephalogram (EEG) signal amplitude and recognition accuracy. This paper provides MP dataset that was acquired using a 12-target BCI speller. MP dataset contains 9-channel EEG signals from the occipital region of 24 subjects under 5 stimulation paradigms with different stimulus sizes and arrangements. Stimuli were encoded using joint frequency and phase modulation (JFPM) method. Subjects completed an offline prompted spelling task using a speller under 5 paradigms. Each experiment contains 8 blocks, and each block contains 12 trials. Designers can use this dataset to test the performance of algorithms considering "stimulus size" and "stimulus arrangement". EEG data showed SSVEP features through amplitude-frequency analysis. FBCCA and TRCA confirmed its suitability.
