稳态视觉诱发电位的原理及其应用
The Principle of Steady-State Visual Evoked Potentials and Its Applications
摘要: 稳态视觉诱发电位(Steady State Visual Evoked Potentials, SSVEP)是指当视觉系统受到一定频率的周期性光刺激时，大脑视觉皮层等区域产生的、与刺激频率相关的周期性电生理反应。因SSVEP具有频率特异性强、稳定性良好和信号提取能力较高等特点，目前该技术已经被广泛应用于认知神经科学和脑机接口等领域。本综述聚焦于SSVEP，旨在深入分析其产生原理、信号特征及其功能应用，重点阐述SSVEP最新研究发展，包括双标记的SSVEP研究。同时，本文指出视觉刺激的频率选择和实验范式的创新可能是未来重要的研究方向。
Abstract: Steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs) refer to periodic electrophysiological responses elicited in the visual cortex and related brain regions when the visual system is exposed to rhythmic visual stimulation at a constant frequency. Owing to their strong frequency specificity, high stability, and robust signal detectability, SSVEPs have been widely applied in cognitive neuroscience and brain-computer interface research. This review focuses on SSVEPs and aims to provide an in-depth analysis of their underlying mechanisms, signal characteristics, and functional applications, with particular emphasis on recent advances in the field, including studies employing dual-frequency tagging paradigms. Meanwhile, this paper points out that the frequency selection of visual stimuli and innovation in experimental paradigms may be important research directions in the future.
