Use of ANNs as Classifiers for Selective Attention Brain-Computer Interfaces

چکیده
Selective attention to visual-spatial stimuli causes decrements of power in alpha band and increments in beta. For steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEP) selective attention affects electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings, modulating the power in the range 8-27 Hz. The same behaviour can be seen for auditory stimuli as well, although for auditory steady-state response (ASSR), it is not fully confirmed yet. The design of selective attention based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) has two major advantages: First, no much training is needed. Second, if properly designed, a steady-state response corresponding to spectral peaks can be elicited, easy to filter and classify. In this paper we study the behaviour of ANNs as classifiers for a selective attention to auditory stimuli based BCI system.

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...
