This paper presents an online steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) based brain-
computer interface (BCI). Stimuli are displayed on a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen with
a frame based encoding method to elicit SSVEPs with a wide range of frequencies. This
system focuses strongly on practicability and convenience, including an adequate alphabet
(42 characters) that can allow a wide range of options. Four healthy subjects attain a mean
information transfer rate (ITR) of 61.64�3.61 bits/min.
