EEG Signal Analysis for P300 Extraction

Description:

Welcome to the EEG Signal Analysis repository, focusing on the extraction of P300 signals using synchronous averaging techniques. This project aims to provide insights into the optimal number of repetitions required to reliably capture the P300 response, a crucial component in various applications such as brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and cognitive neuroscience research.

Key Features:

• Analysis of P300 Response Stability: Explore the stability of the P300 response by analyzing the average response obtained from different numbers of repetitions (N).
• Determining Optimal Number of Averaged Patterns (N0): Utilize various metrics such as average response stability, maximum absolute amplitude, and root mean square error (RMSE) to determine the optimal number of repetitions for P300 extraction.
• Comparison of Average Responses: Compare average responses for different numbers of repetitions, including random selections, to evaluate the consistency and variability of the extracted P300 signal.
• Real-world Considerations: Discuss factors influencing the number of repetitions in real experiments, such as individual variability, experimental task complexity, and practical constraints.
