ABSTRACT
In this chapter, we discuss the parameter setup for steady-state visually evoked potential (SSVEP)–based brain–computer interface (BCI) systems aimed for elderly people. In this respect, the reader is guided through the key features of SSVEP-based BCI applications. In detail, we discuss the appropriate choice of stimulation frequencies, classification time windows, and the number of selectable commands. Additionally, we list design choices for the graphical user interfaces geared to the needs of users of advanced age. The chapter summarizes results of our previous research, where age-related differences in BCI performance were investigated.
