### Summary

The **Brain–Computer Interface (BCI)** provides an alternative means of communication and has sparked growing interest in the past two decades. Specifically, for **Steady-State Visual Evoked Potential (SSVEP)**-based BCI **(SSVEP-BCI)**, significant improvements have been made in frequency recognition methods and data sharing. However, the number of public databases in this field is still limited. To address this gap, we present **BEnchmark database Towards BCI Application (BETA)**. The BETA database is composed of **64-channel Electroencephalogram (EEG)** data from **70 subjects** performing a **40-target cued-spelling task**.  

- The design and acquisition of BETA aim to meet the demands of **real-world BCI applications**.  
- BETA can be used as a **test-bed** for algorithm development and benchmarking.
