Steady-State Visual Evoked Potentials (SSVEP) Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) relies on overt spatial attention to exhibit reliable steady-state responses. There is a promising potential to employ the SSVEP paradigm in with vision research and clinical use, for instance, for visual field assessment. In this study, we investigate the SSVEP characteristics with different spatial attention, the different number of stimuli, and different viewing/visual angles. We collected data from eleven subjects in three experiment sessions, lasting about forty minutes, including the setup and calibration. Our evaluation results show similar SSVEP responses between overt and covert attention in multiple stimuli scenarios in most of the visual angles. We do not find any significant differences in SSVEP responses in visual angles between single and multi stimuli in covert attention. From this study, we found that reliable SSVEP responses can be achieved with covert spatial attention regardless of visual angles and stimulus spatial resolution.

Sparse coding theories suggest that the visual brain is optimized to encode natural visual stimuli to minimize metabolic cost. It is thought that images that do not have the same statistical properties as natural images are unable to be coded efficiently and result in visual discomfort. Conversely, artworks are thought to be even more efficiently processed compared to natural images and so are esthetically pleasing.

Fear of threatening contexts often generalizes to similar, safe contexts but few studies have investigated how contextual information influences cue generalization. In this study we explored whether fear responses to cues would generalize more broadly in a threatening compared to a safe context. Forty-seven participants underwent a differential cue-in-context conditioning protocol followed by a generalization test while we recorded psychophysiological and subjective responses.

When humans shift between tasks, they initially show slower responses in the new task than in the previous one. Persisting attentional settings are increasingly recognized as a source for these shifting costs. However, the extent to which specific mechanisms underlying information selection and interference control contribute to this phenomenon remains less clear.

Article Synopsis
- Light-based gamma entrainment using sensory stimuli (GENUS) shows promise as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the discomfort from flickering lights may hinder patient adherence to the therapy.
- A study investigates Invisible spectral flicker (ISF), which is a less detectable type of flicker, and finds it significantly more comfortable and less distracting for users compared to traditional luminance flickering (LF).
- While reducing brightness didn’t impact SSVEP responses, it improved comfort, suggesting that combining ISF with less direct stimulation could enhance the overall treatment experience for AD patients.

Background: Ear-electroencephalography (ear-EEG) holds significant promise as a practical tool in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) due to its enhanced unobtrusiveness, comfort, and mobility compared to traditional steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP)-based BCI systems. However, achieving accurate SSVEP classification with ear-EEG remains a major challenge due to the significant attenuation and distortion of the signal amplitude.
Objective: Our aim is to enhance the classification performance of SSVEP using ear-EEG and to increase its practical application value.
