Abstract

Auditory steady state response (ASSR) based brain-computer interface (BCI) shows unique advantages compared with other BCIs such as steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEP) based BCI paradigm due to its visual-independent characteristic, and has attracted much attention from researchers. In this paper, a novel ASSR-based BCI using multiple frequencies sequential coding was proposed with the aim of improving the performance of conventional ASSR BCI. Each audio stimulus stream was modulated by two sequential frequencies, i.e., 4Hz and 13Hz for left ear stimulation and 5Hz and 9Hz for right ear stimulation. An experiment consisting of 200-trial offline task and 50-trial online task was performed for each subject and four subjects were recruited to participate in this study. Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) method was used in offline task to extract the ASSR response features, with which LDA model was trained. By applying the trained model to online task, we found that the accuracy of the proposed multiple frequencies sequential coding method is higher than that using the single frequency. And we also draw such a conclusion that the low frequency range can be used in ASSR-based BCIs. All of the results proved the feasibility of the proposed method to provide a new possible paradigm for practical ASSR BCI applications.
