Stimuli design for SSVEP-based brain computer-interface

The paper presents a process of stimuli design for SSVEP-based brain computer-interface. A brain computerinterface can be used in direct communication between a brain and a computer, without using muscles. This device is useful for paralyzed people to communicate with the surrounding environment. Design process should provide high accuracy recognition of presented stimuli and high user comfort. It is widely known how to make stimuli for BCI which are using high-grade EEG. Over recent years cheaper EEGs are becoming more and more popular, for example OpenBCI, which uses ADS1299 amplifier. In this article we review past works of other authors and compare it with our results, obtained using EEG mentioned before. We try to confirm that it is possible to use successfully OpenBCI in BCI projects.
