مستخلص: • The effectiveness of using IF-EMD in extracting high-frequency SSVEP has been demonstrated. • The superiority of IF-EMD in avoidance of mode mixing was testified. • A real-time BCI cursor system using SSVEP higher than 40 Hz was established. • The feasibility of extracting high-frequency SSVEP using dry EEG electrode with an impedance matching circuit was confirmed. Steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) has been regarded as an efficient way to design a brain computer interface (BCI). Most SSVEP-based BCIs utilize visual stimuli with flashing frequencies lower than 30 Hz, owing to their better signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). However, the practical applications of low-frequency SSVEP-based BCI are limited, because low-frequency SSVEP usually incur uncomfortable visual experience and the risk of photosensitive epilepsy. In contrast, SSVEP-based BCIs using higher stimulation frequencies (>40 Hz) can induce flicker fusion effect for better visualization. In this study, we studied the feasibility of using iterative filtering - empirical mode decomposition (IF-EMD) to implement a BCI cursor system. EEG signals were recorded from dry EEG electrodes with impedance matching circuits. Three stimulation frequencies, designed at 47, 50, and 53 Hz, were chosen to induce high-frequency SSVEPs, in order to control the leftward, forward and rightward movements of the BCI cursor. Ten subjects were recruited, and each subject was requested to complete a control experiment and an application experiment. In the control experiment, subjects were requested to gaze at each flickering target for thirty seconds. In the application experiment, subjects were instructed to move a cursor to reach three targets on a PC screen. The mean accuracy (Acc), command transfer interval (CTI), and information transfer rate (ITR) in the control experiment were 90.7 ± 2.9%, 1.14 ± 0.07 s, and 54.94 ± 5.41 bits/min, respectively. In the application experiment, the mean execution time and CTI were 30.0 ± 4.69 s and 1.50 ± 0.31 s, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
