I disagree. It's certainly not the ideal answer to the question but it is an answer. Contacting people who have used the stimuli before is a really common way to solve exactly the problem that the question poses (how do I find stimuli that aren't readily available on the web?).

I agree with @Josh here. Cognitive scientists frequently don't host these anywhere, so telling the author to use email is just instructing them on common practice.

<p>I am a student working on a project which deals with Steady State Visually-Evoked Potentials (SSVEP) Stimuator.

What is SSVEP and why can't you create the stimuli yourself?

steady state evoke potentials. For evoke this potentils you need to see a special stimuli like a flickering checkerboard or single graphics. Does anybody know where can I find them?

What system are you using? For example, the people from Espion (a widely applied ERG/VEP system) are very kind folks that are always more than willing to help out (needless to say, as long as you are using their system :-)
