Background. Due to the redundant information contained in multichannel electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, the classification accuracy of brain-computer interface (BCI) systems may deteriorate to a large extent. Channel selection methods can help to remove task-independent electroencephalogram (EEG) signals and hence improve the performance of BCI systems. However, in different frequency bands, brain areas associated with motor imagery are not exactly the same, which will result in the inability of traditional channel selection methods to extract effective EEG features. New Method. To address the above problem, this paper proposes a novel method based on common spatial pattern- (CSP-) rank channel selection for multifrequency band EEG (CSP-R-MF). It combines the multiband signal decomposition filtering and the CSP-rank channel selection methods to select significant channels, and then linear discriminant analysis (LDA) was used to calculate the classification accuracy. Results. The results showed that our proposed CSP-R-MF method could significantly improve the average classification accuracy compared with the CSP-rank channel selection method.

In this work, we developed a novel system to detect the braking intention of drivers in emergency situations using electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. The system acquired eight-channel EEG and motion-sensing data from a custom-designed EEG headset during simulated driving. A novel method for accurately labeling the training data during an extremely short period after the onset of an emergency stimulus was introduced. Two types of features, including EEG band power-based and autoregressive (AR)-based, were investigated. It turned out that the AR-based feature in combination with artificial neural network classifier provided better detection accuracy of the system. Experimental results for ten subjects indicated that the proposed system could detect the emergency braking intention approximately 600 ms before the onset of the executed braking event, with high accuracy of 91%. Thus, the proposed system demonstrated the feasibility of developing a brain-controlled vehicle for real-world applications.

Epilepsy is one of the most common brain disorders worldwide. The most frequently used clinical tool to detect epileptic events and monitor epilepsy patients is the EEG recordings. There have been proposed many computer-aided diagnosis systems using EEG signals for the detection and prediction of seizures. In this study, a novel method based on Fourier-based Synchrosqueezing Transform (SST), which is a high-resolution time-frequency (TF) representation, and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is proposed to detect and predict seizure segments. SST is based on the reassignment of signal components in the TF plane which provides highly localized TF energy distributions. Epileptic seizures cause sudden energy discharges which are well represented in the TF plane by using the SST method. The proposed SST-based CNN method is evaluated using the IKCU dataset we collected, and the publicly available CHB-MIT dataset. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach yields high average segment-based seizure detection precision and accuracy rates for both datasets (IKCU: 98.99% PRE and 99.06% ACC; CHB-MIT: 99.81% PRE and 99.63% ACC). Additionally, SST-based CNN approach provides significantly higher segment-based seizure prediction performance with 98.54% PRE and 97.92% ACC than similar approaches presented in the literature using the CHB-MIT dataset.


The main aim of the proposed paper is to search the information using brain waves instead of searching using the text query. Electroencephalography (EEG) is an electrophysiological checking strategy to record the electrical activity of the mind. EEG estimates voltage changes coming about because of ionic current inside the neurons of the mind. EEG alludes to the account of the mind’s unconstrained electrical movement over a time frame, as recorded from different nodes put on the scalp. For training, When the user has read a question, the brain waves are recorded with the help of sensors like Neurosky device in the form of EEG signals values like Alpha, Beta, and Gamma and are stored in a dataset. The brainwaves of different persons are recorded for different questions and are stored. The features are reduced using PCA and the centroid of the values are calculated using the K-means clustering algorithm. For testing, when the user thinks about a question in the list, the brain waves are recorded and compared with the values available in the dataset. Using KNN Algorithm, the proposed system outputs the respective question which will be submitted to the search engine. K-Means clustering algorithm is used to calculate the cluster centroid. Once the centroid is calculated for each question, we plot each centroid in a 2-D plane. For a random question from the pool of existing questions, we use the KNN algorithm to find the nearest match. When the match is found, the question corresponding to it is submitted to the search engine.

We present a new method for removing artifacts in electroencephalography (EEG) records during Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation (GVS). The main challenge in exploiting GVS is to understand how the stimulus acts as an input to brain. We used EEG to monitor the brain and elicit the GVS reflexes. However, GVS current distribution throughout the scalp generates an artifact on EEG signals. We need to eliminate this artifact to be able to analyze the EEG signals during GVS. We propose a novel method to estimate the contribution of the GVS current in the EEG signals at each electrode by combining time-series regression methods with wavelet decomposition methods. We use wavelet transform to project the recorded EEG signal into various frequency bands and then estimate the GVS current distribution in each frequency band. The proposed method was optimized using simulated signals, and its performance was compared to well-accepted artifact removal methods such as ICA-based methods and adaptive filters. The results show that the proposed method has better performance in removing GVS artifacts, compared to the others. Using the proposed method, a higher signal to artifact ratio of −1.625 dB was achieved, which outperformed other methods such as ICA-based methods, regression methods, and adaptive filters.
