Motor-imagery brain-computer interfaces, as rehabilitation tools for motor-disabled individuals, could inherently enrich neuroplasticity and subsequently restore mobility. However, this endeavour's significant challenge is classifying left and right leg motor imagery tasks from non-stationary EEG signals. A subject-independent feature extraction method is essential in a BCI system, and this work involves developing a subject-independent algorithm to classify left/right leg motion intention. The Multivariate Empirical Mode Decomposition was used to decompose EEG during left and right foot movements during imagery tasks. We validated our proposed algorithm using open-access motor imagery data to detect the user's mental intention from EEG. Five subjects of various performance categories with almost 150 trials for each left/right leg MI of hand/leg/tongue, HaLT Paradigm, utilizing C3, C4, and Cz channels were examined to generalize this study to all subjects. A set of statistical features were extracted from the intrinsic mode functions, and the most relevant features were selected for classification using Sequential Floating Feature Selection. Different classifiers were trained using extracted features, and their performances' were evaluated. The findings suggest that the non-linear support vector machine is the best classification model, resulting in the mean classification sensitivity, specificity, precision, negative predictive value, F-measure, 98.15%, 90.74%, 91.97%, 98.33%, 94.72%, 94.44%, respectively. The proposed subject-independent signal processing method significantly improved the offline calibration mode by eliminating the frequency selection step, making it the common-used method for different types of MI-based BCI participants. Offline evaluations suggest that it can lead to significant increases in classification accuracy in comparison to current approaches.

This article presents a signal-based seismic structural health monitoring technique for damage detection and evaluating damage severity of a multi-story frame subjected to an earthquake event. As a case study, this article is focused on IASC–ASCE benchmark problem to provide the possibility for side-by-side comparison. First, three signal processing techniques including empirical mode decomposition, Hilbert vibration decomposition, and local mean decomposition, categorized as instantaneous time–frequency methods, have been compared to find a method with the best resolution in extracting frequency responses. Time-varying single degree of freedom and multiple degree of freedom models are used since real vibration signals are nonstationary and nonlinear in nature. Based on the results, empirical mode decomposition has proved to outperform than the others. Second, empirical mode decomposition is used to extract the acceleration response of the sensors. Next, a two-stage artificial neural network is used to classify damage patterns. The first artificial neural network identifies location and severity of damage and the second one calculates the severity of damage for the entire structure. IASC–ASCE benchmark problem is used to validate the proposed procedure. By taking advantage of signal processing and artificial intelligence techniques, damage detection of structures was successfully carried out in three levels including damage occurrence, damage severity, and the location of damage.

Diagnostics is based on the characterization of mechanical system condition and allows early detection of a possible fault. Signal processing is an approach widely used in diagnostics, since it allows directly characterizing the state of the system. Several types of advanced signal processing techniques have been proposed in the last decades and added to more conventional ones. Seldom, these techniques are able to consider non-stationary operations. Diagnostics of roller bearings is not an exception of this framework. In this paper, a new vibration signal processing tool, able to perform roller bearing diagnostics in whatever working condition and noise level, is developed on the basis of two data-adaptive techniques as Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD), Minimum Entropy Deconvolution (MED), coupled by means of the mathematics related to the Hilbert transform. The effectiveness of the new signal processing tool is proven by means of experimental data measured in a test-rig that employs high power industrial size components.
