Classifying n-back EEG data using entropy and mutual information features
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work we show that entropy (H) and mutual information (MI) can be used as methods for extracting spatially localized features for classification purposes. In order to increase accuracy of entropy estimation, we use a Bayesian approach with a Dirichlet prior to derive estimation equations. We calculate the H and MI features for each electrode (H) and pair of electrodes (MI) in three frequency bands and use them to train the Naive Bayes classifier. We test the H and MI features on one/five trial long segments of n-back memory EEG signals and show that they outperform power spectrum and linear correlation features respectively.

Classifying EEG Data into Different Memory Loads Across Subjects
In this paper we consider the question of whether it is possible to classify n-back EEG data into different memory loads across subjects. To capture relevant information from the EEG signal we use three types of features: power spectrum, conditional entropy, and conditional mutual information. In order to reduce irrelevant and misleading features we use a feature selection method that maximizes...
متن کاملFeature extraction for EEG classification: representing electrode outputs as a Markov stochastic process
In this work we introduce a new model for representing EEG signals and extracting discriminative features. We treat the outputs of each electrode as a stochastic process and assume that the sequence of variables forming a process is stationary and Markov. To capture temporal dependences within an electrode, we use conditional entropy and to capture dependences between different electrodes we us...

متن کاملA review on EEG based brain computer interface systems feature extraction methods
The brain – computer interface (BCI) provides a communicational channel between human and machine. Most of these systems are based on brain activities. Brain Computer-Interfacing is a methodology that provides a way for communication with the outside environment using the brain thoughts. The success of this methodology depends on the selection of methods to process the brain signals in each pha...
