Dataset of binocularly coded steady-state visual evoked potentials recorded with an augmented reality headset

Abstract Steady-state visually evoked potential (SSVEP)-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have shown significant promise for practical applications. The integration of SSVEP-BCIs with head-mounted augmented-reality (AR) displays is expected to foster wearable, portable systems; nevertheless, em...

description Abstract Steady-state visually evoked potential (SSVEP)-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have shown significant promise for practical applications. The integration of SSVEP-BCIs with head-mounted augmented-reality (AR) displays is expected to foster wearable, portable systems; nevertheless, empirical resources for such configurations are scarce, especially for paradigms employing innovative stimulation paradigms. Here we present a curated SSVEP dataset recorded with a binocular AR headset that independently modulates the visual input to each eye and a lightweight electroencephalography recorder. Beyond the conventional binocular-congruent single-frequency stimulation adopted in AR-SSVEP studies, the dataset systematically explores binocular-incongruent dual-frequency encoding whereby the two lenses render flickers with distinct frequencies and/or phases. We report comparative analyses of SSVEP characteristics and BCI performance under congruent versus incongruent protocols, and delineate the influence of inter-ocular frequency and phase disparities. The results substantiate the feasibility of wearable AR-SSVEP-BCIs and highlight binocular-incongruent dual-frequency stimulation as a compelling strategy for improving target separability. The dataset should accelerate research on portable SSVEP-BCIs, novel encoding schemes, and the neural mechanisms of binocular vision.
