Abstract/OtherAbstract:
This study proposes a novel biphasic stimulation technique to solve the issue of phase drifts in SSVEPs in phase-tagged systems. Phase calibration was embedded in stimulus sequences using a biphasic flicker, which is driven by a sequence with alternating reference and phase-shift states. Nine subjects were recruited to participate in offline and online tests. Signals were band-pass filtered and segmented by trigger signals into reference and phase-shift epochs. Frequency components of SSVEP in the reference and phase-shift epochs were extracted using the Fourier method with a 50% overlapped sliding-window. The real and imaginary parts of the SSVEP frequency components were organized into complex vectors in each epoch. The Hotelling's t square test was used to determine the significances of non-zero mean vectors. The rejection of noisy data segments and the validation of gaze detections were made based on p values. The phase difference between the valid mean vectors of reference and phase-shift epochs was used to identify user's gazed targets in this system. Data showed an average information transfer rate of 44.55 and 38.21 bits/min in offline and online tests, respectively.
