P300 Event Related Potentials

Event Related Potentials (ERPs) are brain responses triggered by stimuli, a fundamental tool in neuroscience and psychology. To visualize these subtle electrophysiological signals using EEG, noise must be minimized, often by averaging data from multiple trials. The P300, a well-studied ERP, is a positive waveform emerging around 300 milliseconds after an unexpected event, commonly elicited using the oddball paradigm where rare "deviant" stimuli are interspersed among frequent "default" ones.

EEG SSVEP Classifier [The Basics]

Steady-State Visually Evoked Potentials (SSVEPs) are brain signals that synchronize with flickering visual stimuli, making them a popular and reliable tool for Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs). By detecting which flickering frequency matches a user's neural activity, SSVEP-based BCIs can enable control over external systems with high accuracy and minimal training. This post delves into SSVEPs, illustrating their application with examples of online and offline classifiers developed using the Mentalab Explore system, freely available for researchers to build upon.
