Online Recognition of Facial Actions for Natural EEG-Based BCI Applications

چکیده
We present a system for classification of nine voluntary facial actions, i.e. Neutral, Smile, Sad, Surprise, Angry, Speak, Blink, Left, and Right. The data is assessed by an Emotiv EPOC wireless EEG head-set. We derive spectral features and step function features that represent the main signal characteristics of the recorded data in a straightforward manner. With a two stage classification setup using support vector machines we achieve an overall recognition accuracy of 81.8%. Furthermore, we show a qualitative evaluation of an online system for facial action recognition using the EPOC device.

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 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...
