BCI Signal Classification using a Riemannian-based kernel

چکیده
The use of spatial covariance matrix as feature is investigated for motor imagery EEG-based classification. A new kernel is derived by establishing a connection with the Riemannian geometry of symmetric positive definite matrices. Different kernels are tested, in combination with support vector machines, on a past BCI competition dataset. We demonstrate that this new approach outperforms significantly state of the art results without the need for spatial filtering.

متن کاملClassification 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...
متن کاملEEG Based Brain Computer Interface Hand Grasp Control: Feature Extraction Method MTCSP
Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) are communication systems, which enable users to send commands to computers by using brain activity only; this activity being generally measured by Electroencephalography (EEG). BCIs are generally designed according to a pattern recognition approach, i.e., by extracting features from EEG signals, and by using a classifier to identify the user’s mental state from...
متن کاملRiemannian Geometry Applied to BCI Classification
In brain computer interface based on motor imagery, covariances matrices are widely used through spatial filters computation and other signal processing methods. Covariances matrices lie in the space of Semi-definite Positives (SPD) matrices and therefore, fall within the Riemannian geometry domain. Using a differential geometry frameworks, we propose different algorithms in order to classify c...
متن کاملMulticlass Brain-Computer Interface Classification by Riemannian Geometry
This paper presents a new classification framework for brain-computer interface (BCI) based on motor imagery. This framework involves the concept of Riemannian geometry in the manifold of covariance matrices. The main idea is to use spatial covariance matrices as EEG signal descriptors and to rely on Riemannian geometry to directly classify these matrices using the topology of the manifold of s...
