An experimental evaluation of ensemble methods for EEG signal classification
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ensemble learning for improving weak classifiers is one important direction in the current research of machine learning, and thereinto bagging, boosting and random subspace are three powerful and popular representatives. They have so far shown efficacies in many practical classification problems. However, for electroencephalogram (EEG) signal classification with application to brain–computer interfaces (BCIs), there are almost no studies investigating their feasibilities. The present study systematically evaluates the performance of the three ensemble methods for EEG signal classification of mental imagery tasks. With the base classifiers of k-nearest-neighbor, decision tree and support vector machine, classification experiments are carried out upon real EEG recordings. Experimental results suggest the feasibilities of ensemble classification methods, and we also derive some valuable conclusions on the performance of ensemble methods for EEG signal classification. 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Classification of EEG-based motor imagery BCI by using ECOC
AbstractAccuracy in identifying the subjects’ intentions for moving their different limbs from EEG signals is regarded as an important factor in the studies related to BCI. In fact, the complexity of motor-imagination and low amount of signal-to-noise ratio for EEG signal makes this identification as a difficult task. In order to overcome these complexities, many techniques such as variou...

Introduction: Clinicians use several computer-aided diagnostic systems for depression to authorize their diagnosis. An electroencephalogram (EEG) may be used as an objective tool for early diagnosis of depression and controlling it from reaching a severe and permanent state. However, artifact contamination reduces the accuracy in EEG signal processing systems. Methods: This work proposes a no...

Epilepsy is the most common brain diseases that cause many problems in the daily life of the patient. In most attempts to automatic detection, the attack used an EEG. In this paper, The complete data set consists of five sets recorded from normal and epileptic patients. Each set containing 100 single-channel EEG segments. Here we used first and last sets (A and E). Set A consisted of segments r...
