DC-tCNN: A Deep Model for EEG-Based Detection of Dim Targets by Liangwei Fan, Hui Shen, Fengyu Xie, Jianpo Su, Yang Yu, Dewen Hu

“…In this work, we seek to explore event-related brain responses of dim target detection tasks and extend the brain-computer interface (BCI) systems to this task for efficiency enhancement. Methods: We develop a BCI paradigm named Asynchronous Visual Evoked Paradigm (AVEP), in which subjects are required to search the dim targets within satellite images when their scalp electroencephalography (EEG) signals are simultaneously recorded. …”
