Abstract English The purpose of this paper is to present the optimal number of<br> windows and window lengths using multiple window spectrogram for<br> estimation of non-stationary processes with shorter or longer<br> duration. Such processes could start in the EEG as a result of a<br> stimuli, e.g. steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEP). In many<br> applications the Welch method is used with standard set-ups for<br> window lengths and number of averaged spectra/spectrograms. This paper optimizes the<br> window lengths and number of windows of the Welch method and compare<br> the calculated mean squared error for this method with the optimal parameter choices of other more<br> recent, socalled, multiple window or multitaper methods. The results<br> could be useful in the choice of more optimal window functions for<br> spectrogram estimation in certain applications. Some examples of spectrogram estimation of<br> SSVEP are shown.
