EEG Dataset for RSVP and P300 Speller Brain-Computer Interfaces

As attention to deep learning techniques has grown, many researchers have attempted to develop ready-to-go brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that include automatic processing pipelines. However, to do so, a large and clear dataset is essential to increase the model's reliability and performance. Accordingly, our electroencephalogram (EEG) dataset for rapid serial visual representation (RSVP) and P300 speller may contribute to increasing such BCI research. We validated our dataset with respect to features and accuracy. For the RSVP, the participants (N = 50) achieved about 92% mean target detection accuracy. At the feature level, we observed notable ERPs (at 315 ms in the RSVP; at 262 ms in the P300 speller) during target events compared to non-target events. Regarding P300 speller performance, the participants (N = 55) achieved about 92% mean accuracy. In addition, P300 speller performance over trial repetitions up to 15 was explored. The presented dataset could potentially improve P300 speller applications. Further, it may be used to evaluate feature extraction and classification algorithm effectively, such as for cross-subjects/cross-datasets, and even for the cross-paradigm BCI model.
