Synchronous SSVEP Data Acquisition System

Abstract

Steady State Visually Evoked Potentials have been known for several decades and they appear in the primary visual cortex of brain as a result of light stimulation of the sense of sight. In this article a simple method for electroencephalographic data acquisition is presented. The system is based on the DSM-51 unit connected to goggles with blinking diodes and Mindset-1000 EEG amplifier with 16 channels. We present self-developed hardware and method of effective synchronization for the light stimulation and brain activity recording.
