                Abstract: 
                Deep learning techniques have proved to be beneficial in many scientific disciplines and have beaten stateof-
the-art approaches in many applications. The main aim of this article is to improve the success rate of
deep learning algorithms, especially stacked autoencoders, when they are used for detection and classification
of P300 event-related potential component that reflects brain processes related to stimulus evaluation or
categorization. Moreover, the classification results provided by stacked autoencoders are compared with the
classification results given by other classification models and classification results provided by combinations
of various types of neural network layers.
