Abstract

It has been established that neural response is time-locked to stimulus; however, the latencyin between may vary because of stimulus strength, subject fatigue, distraction, etc.

Instead of assuming perfect time-locking between stimulus and its neural response, we proposed here a statistical model that admits latency variation.

We tested the approach on an EEG data set from an image Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) experiment. Results show that the proposed approach consistently outperforms those relying on perfect time-locking.

In addition, our approach can predict the stimulus' onset time when this information is not available.
