Abstract

In this position paper, we investigate whether a parallel factor analysis (Parafac) decomposition is beneficial to the decoding of steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEP) present in electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings taken from the subject's scalp. In particular, we develop an automatic algorithm aimed at detecting the stimulation frequency after Parafac decomposition. The results are validated on recordings made from 54 subjects using consumer-grade EEG hardware (Emotiv's EPOC headset) in a real-world environment. The detection of one frequency among 12, 4 and 2 possible was considered to assess the feasibility for Brain Computer Interfacing (BCI). We determined the frequencies subsets, among all subjects, that maximize the detection rate.
