OPTIMAL RAPID SERIAL VISUAL PRESENTATION (RSVP) SPACING AND FUSION FOR ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHY (EEG)-BASED BRAIN COMPUTER INTERFACE (BCI)

Described is system for optimizing rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) spacing and fusion. The system receives a sequence of a plurality of rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) image chips. The plurality of RSVP image chips are generated from an image via a pre-processing step and have a high probability of containing a target of interest. The system alters the order of the sequence of the plurality of RSVP image chips to increase the probability of detection of a true target of interest when presented to a human subject.
