Experimental design and signal selection for construction of a robot control system based on EEG signals

چکیده
Aiming to develop an noninvasive BMI control system with EEG (electroencephalogram) signals to control external devices such as prostheses and robots for rehabilitation and/or power support, four different tasks corresponding to different brain excitation degrees are designed. Their EEG spectra are analyzed with short-time fast Fourier transform (STFFT), and their features of mu and beta rhythms corresponding to the different tasks are extracted. The extracted features are used to control a one-joint robot arm and their corresponding results are compared. The results show that the EEG signal when a subject is holding a weight is comparatively more stable than the EEG signals in other tasks such as motor imagery. This implies an effective way for power assist by EEG signals.

Robot control system using SMR signals detection
One of the important issues in designing a brain-computer interface system is to select the type of mental activity to be imagined. In some of these systems, mental activity varies with user intent and action that must be controlled by the brain-computer system, and in a number of other signals, the received signals contain the same activity-related mental activity that should be performed by t...

Introduction: Mental arithmetic analysis based on Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal for monitoring the state of the user’s brain functioning can be helpful for understanding some psychological disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, or dyscalculia where the difficulty in learning or understanding the arithmetic exists. Most mental arithmetic recogni...
متن کاملClassification of Right/Left Hand Motor Imagery by Effective Connectivity Based on Transfer Entropy in EEG Signal
The right and left hand Motor Imagery (MI) analysis based on the electroencephalogram (EEG) signal can directly link the central nervous system to a computer or a device. This study aims to identify a set of robust and nonlinear effective brain connectivity features quantified by transfer entropy (TE) to characterize the relationship between brain regions from EEG signals and create a hierarchi...
متن کاملA New Approach for Investigating the Complexity of Short Term EEG Signal Based on Neural Network
Background and purpose: The nonlinear quality of electroencephalography (EEG), like other irregular signals, can be quantified. Some of these values, such as Lyapunovchr('39')s representative, study the signal path divergence and some quantifiers need to reconstruct the signal path but some do not. However, all of these quantifiers require a long signal to quantify the signal complexity. Mate...
