Towards a Fully Interpretable EEG-based BCI System
نویسنده
چکیده
Most Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) are based on machine learning and behave like black boxes, i.e., they cannot be interpreted. However, designing interpretable BCI would enable to discuss, verify or improve what the BCI has automatically learnt from brain signals, or possibly gain new insights about the brain. In this paper, we present an algorithm to design a fully interpretable BCI. It can explain what power in which brain regions and frequency bands corresponds to which mental state, using “if-then” rules expressed with simple words. Evaluations showed that this algorithm led to a truly interpretable BCI as the automatically derived rules were consistent with the literature. They also showed that we can actually verify and correct what an interpretable BCI has learnt so as to further improve it. in ria -0 05 04 65 8, v er si on 1 21 J ul 2 01 0 Towards a Fully Interpretable EEG-based BCI System 2

Control of a 2-DoF robotic arm using a P300-based brain-computer interface
In this study, a novel control algorithm, based on a P300-based brain-computer interface (BCI) is fully developed to control a 2-DoF robotic arm. Eight subjects including 5 men and 3 women perform a 2-dimensional target tracking in a simulated environment. Their EEG (Electroencephalography) signals from visual cortex are recorded and P300 components are extracted and evaluated to perform a real...

A Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is a communication system which enables its users to sendcommands to a computer by using brain activity only, this brain activity being measured, gen-erally by ElectroEncephaloGraphy (EEG), and processed by the system.In the first part of this thesis, dedicated to EEG signal processing and classification tech-niques, we aimed at designing interpr...

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...

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 کاملA review on EEG based brain computer interface systems feature extraction methods
The brain – computer interface (BCI) provides a communicational channel between human and machine. Most of these systems are based on brain activities. Brain Computer-Interfacing is a methodology that provides a way for communication with the outside environment using the brain thoughts. The success of this methodology depends on the selection of methods to process the brain signals in each pha...
