Abstract

‎There are different feature extraction methods in brain-computer interfaces (BCI) based on Steady-State Visually Evoked Potentials (SSVEP) systems‎. ‎This paper presents a comparison of five methods for stimulation frequency detection in SSVEP-based BCI systems‎. ‎The techniques are based on Power Spectrum Density Analysis (PSDA)‎, ‎Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)‎, ‎Hilbert‎- ‎Huang Transform (HHT)‎, ‎Cross Correlation and Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA)‎. ‎The results demonstrate that the CCA and FFT can be successfully applied for stimulus frequency detection by considering the highest accuracy and minimum consuming ‎time.‎
