SSVEP-DAN: A Data Alignment Network for SSVEP-based Brain Computer Interfaces
Steady-state visual-evoked potential (SSVEP)-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) offer a non-invasive means of communication through high-speed speller systems. However, their efficiency heavily relies on individual training data obtained during time-consuming calibration sessions. To address the challenge of data insufficiency in SSVEP-based BCIs, we present SSVEP-DAN, the first dedicated neural network model designed for aligning SSVEP data across different domains, which can encompass various sessions, subjects, or devices. Our experimental results across multiple cross-domain scenarios demonstrate SSVEP-DAN's capability to transform existing source SSVEP data into supplementary calibration data, significantly enhancing SSVEP decoding accuracy in scenarios with limited calibration data. We envision SSVEP-DAN as a catalyst for practical SSVEP-based BCI applications with minimal calibration. The source codes in this work are available at: https://github.com/CECNL/SSVEP-DAN.
