SAME is an effective method for increasing the calibration data in SSVEP-BCIs, thus significantly improving the performance of eTRCA and TDCA. Combined with SAME, the average accuracy of eTRCA and TDCA can be increased by about 12% and 3% respectively, even with limited calibration data. SAME also enables eTRCA and TDCA to work well with just one calibration trial, achieving an average accuracy >90% for the Benchmark dataset and >70% for the BETA dataset.
Objective: Currently, ensemble task-related component analysis (eTRCA) and task discriminative component analysis (TDCA) are the state-of-the-art algorithms for steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP)-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). However, training the BCIs requires multiple calibration trials. With insufficient calibration data, the accuracy of the BCI will degrade, or even become invalid with only one calibration trial. However, collecting a large amount of electroencephalography (EEG) data for calibration is a time-consuming and laborious process, which hinders the practical use of eTRCA and TDCA. Methods: This study proposed a novel method, namely Source Aliasing Matrix Estimation (SAME), to augment the calibration data for SSVEP-BCIs. SAME could generate artificial EEG trials with the featured SSVEPs. Its effectiveness was evaluated using two public datasets (i.e., Benchmark, BETA). Results: When combined with SAME, both eTRCA and TDCA had significantly improved performance with a limited number of calibration data. Specifically, SAME increased the average accuracy of eTRCA and TDCA by about 12% and 3%, respectively, with as few as two calibration trials. Notably, SAME enabled eTRCA and TDCA to work well with a single calibration trial, achieving an average accuracy >90% for the Benchmark dataset and >70% for the BETA dataset with 1-second EEG. Conclusion: SAME is an effective method for SSVEP-BCIs to augment the calibration data, thereby significantly enhancing the performance of eTRCA and TDCA. Significance: We propose a new data-augmentation method that is compatible with the state-of-the-art algorithms of SSVEP-based BCIs. It can significantly reduce the efforts required to calibrate SSVEP-BCIs, which is promising for the development of practical BCIs.
