چکیده

Brain Computer Interface systems (BCIs) based on Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal processing allow to translate the subject’s brain activities into control commands for computer devices. This paper presents an efficient embedded approach for feature selection and linear discrimination of EEG signals. In the first stage, four well-known feature extraction methods are used: Power spectral features, Hjorth parameters, Autoregressive modelling and Wavelet transform. From all obtained features, the proposed method efficiently selects and combines the most useful features for classification with less computational requirements. Least Angle Regression (LARS) is used for properly ranking each feature and, then, an efficient Leave-One-Out (LOO) estimation based on the PRESS statistic is used to choose the most relevant features. Experimental results on motor-imagery BCIs problems are provided to illustrate the competitive performance of the proposed approach against other conventional methods.

Classification of EEG Signals for Discrimination of Two Imagined Words

In this study, a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) in Silent-Talk application was implemented. The goal was an electroencephalograph (EEG) classifier for three different classes including two imagined words (Man and Red) and the silence. During the experiment, subjects were requested to silently repeat one of the two words or do nothing in a pre-selected random order. EEG signals were recorded by ...
