However, it has often been ignored that the performance of steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP)-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) can be affected through the minor displacement of the electrodes from their optimal locations in practical applications because of the mislocation of electrodes and\/or concurrent use of electroencephalography (EEG) devices with external devices, such as virtual reality headsets. In this study, we evaluated the performance robustness of SSVEP-based BCIs with respect to the changes in electrode locations for various channel configurations and classification algorithms. Our experiments involved 21 participants, where EEG signals were recorded from the scalp electrodes densely attached to the occipital area of the participants. The classification accuracies for all the possible cases of electrode location shifts for various channel configurations (1\u20133 channels) were calculated using five training-free SSVEP classification algorithms, i.e., the canonical correlation analysis (CCA), extended CCA, filter bank CCA, multivariate synchronization index (MSI), and extended MSI (EMSI). Then, the performances of the BCIs were evaluated using two measures, i.e., the average classification accuracy (ACA) across the electrode shifts and robustness to the electrode shift (RES). Our results showed that the ACA increased with an increase in the number of channels regardless of the algorithm. However, the RES was enhanced with an increase in the number of channels only when MSI and EMSI were employed. While both ACA and RES values for the five algorithms were similar under the single-channel condition, both ACA and RES values for MSI and EMSI were higher than those of the other algorithms under the multichannel (i.e., two or three electrodes) conditions. In addition, EMSI outperformed MSI when comparing the ACA and RES values under the multichannel conditions. In conclusion, our results suggested that the use of multichannel configuration and employment of EMSI could make the performance of SSVEP-based BCIs more robust to the electrode shift from the optimal locations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fninf.2021.750839","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,22]],"date-time":"2021-10-22T06:06:32Z","timestamp":1634882792000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Influence of the Number of Channels and Classification Algorithm on the Performance Robustness to Electrode Shift in Steady-State Visual Evoked Potential-Based Brain-Computer Interfaces"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Hodam","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Chang-Hwan","family":"Im","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e0148886","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0148886","article-title":"Large-scale assessment of a fully automatic co-adaptive motor imagery-based brain computer interface","volume":"11","author":"Acqualagna","year":"2016","journal-title":"PLoS ONE"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"109022","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jneumeth.2020.109022","article-title":"Regularized Kalman filter for brain-computer interfaces using local field potential signals","volume":"350","author":"Asgharpour","year":"2021","journal-title":"J.
