Brain computer interfaces (BCIs) are slowly making their appearance on the consumer market, accompanied by a higher popularity among the general public. This new group of users requires easy-to-use headsets with robustness to non-precise placement. In this paper, an optimized fixed montage EEG headset for VEP BCIs is proposed.\n                    <jats:italic>Approach<\/jats:italic>\n                    . The proposed layout covers only the most relevant area with large sensors to account for slight misplacement. To obtain large sensors, without having them physically available, we tie multiple sensors together and simulate the effect by averaging the signal of multiple sensors.\n                    <jats:italic>Main results<\/jats:italic>\n                    . In simulations based on recorded 256-channel EEG data, it is shown that a circular center-surround configuration with sensor tying, leading to only eight channels covering a large part of the occipital lobe, can provide high performance and good robustness to misplacement. Automatically optimized layouts were unable to achieve better performance, demonstrating the utility of this manual design. Finally, the performance and benefits of sensor tying in the manual design are then validated in a physical experiment.\n                    <jats:italic>Significance<\/jats:italic>\n                    . The resulting proposed layout fulfills most requirements of an easy to use consumer EEG headset.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1088\/1741-2552\/ab4057","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,2]],"date-time":"2019-09-02T18:15:21Z","timestamp":1567448121000},"page":"066038","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1088\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Low channel count montages using sensor tying for VEP-based BCI"],"prefix":"10.1088","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0919-8565","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S","family":"Ahmadi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M","family":"Borhanazad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D","family":"Tump","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Farquhar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P","family":"Desain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"266","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"jneab4057bib001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"22","DOI":"10.1109\/MCI.2009.934562","article-title":"Vep-based brain\u2013computer interfaces: time, frequency, and code modulations (research frontier)","volume":"4","author":"Bin","year":"2009","journal-title":"IEEE Comput.
