Abstract

This study delves into the application of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs), focusing on exploiting Steady-State Visual Evoked Potentials (SSVEPs) as communication tools for individuals facing mobility impairments. SSVEP-BCI systems can swiftly transmit substantial volumes of information, rendering them suitable for diverse applications. However, the efficacy of SSVEP responses can be influenced by variables such as the frequency and color of visual stimuli. Through experiments involving participants equipped with electrodes on the brain's visual cortex, visual stimuli were administered at 4, 17, 25, and 40Hz, using white, red, yellow, green, and blue light sources. The results reveal that white and green stimuli evoke higher SSVEP responses at lower frequencies, with color's impact diminishing at higher frequencies. At low light intensity (1W), white and green stimuli elicit significantly higher SSVEP responses, while at high intensity (3W), responses across colors tend to equalize. Notably, due to seizure risks, red and blue lights should be used cautiously, with white and green lights preferred for SSVEP-BCI systems. This underscores the critical consideration of color and frequency in the design of effective and safe SSVEP-BCI systems, necessitating further research to optimize designs for clinical applications.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier B.V.
