Abstract

The authors consider the problem of detecting visual evoked potentials (VEP´s). A matched subspace filter is applied to the detection of the VEP and is demonstrated to perform better than a number of other evoked potential detectors. Unlike single-harmonic detectors, the matched subspace filter (MSF) detector is suitable for detecting multiharmonic VEP´s. Moreover, the MSF is optimal in the uniformly most powerful sense for multiharmonic signals with unknown noise variance.
