A novel training-free recognition method for SSVEP-based BCIs using dynamic window strategy.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Medical implants made of non-biological materials provoke a chronic inflammatory response, resulting in the deposition of a collagenous scar tissue (ST) layer on their surface, that gradually thickens over time. This is a critical problem for neural interfaces. Scar build-up on electrodes results in a progres...
