1. A system for improved target stimuli detection, the system comprising: one or more processors and a non-transitory computer-readable medium having executable instructions encoded thereon such that when executed, the one or more processors perform operations of: creating a first rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) sequence, wherein the first RSVP sequence comprises a set of image chips, wherein the set of image chips comprises a combination of target images containing at least one target event and non-target images containing common events; determining a number of visual attention distractors to optimize target event detection; wherein the visual attention distractors are visually similar to the non-target images containing common events obtained during creation of the first RSVP sequence; inserting the determined number of visual attention distractors into the first RSVP sequence to generate a second RSVP sequence; reordering the second RSVP sequence to generate a third RSVP sequence; presenting the third RSVP sequence to a user and receiving an electroencephalograph (EEG) signal from the user; and decoding the EEG signal to identify a true target event via a P300 detection in the EEG signal.
