In this chapter, motor imagery (MI) based brain-computer interface (BCI) is introduced incorporating the explanation of key components required to design a practical BCI device. Its application to the medical and nonmedical sector is discussed in detail. In the experimental study, a feature extraction method using time, frequency, and phase analysis of Motor imagery EEG is presented. For the classification of MI task, EEG signals are decomposed using a dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DTCWT) and then time, frequency, and phase features are extracted. The validation of the proposed method is conducted using BCI competition IV dataset 2b. A Support vector machine (SVM) classifier is used to perform the classification task. Performance of the proposed method is compared with the standard feature extraction methods. The proposed scheme achieved a larger average classification accuracy of 82.81% which is better than that obtained by other methods.

The main goal of the paper is to perform a comparative accuracy analysis of the two-group classification of EEG data collected during the P300-based brain-computer interface tests. The brain-computer interface is a technology that allows establishing communication between a human brain and external devices. BCIs may be applied in medicine to improve the life of disabled people and as well for entertainment. The P300 is an event-related potential (ERP) appearing about 300 ms after the occurrence of the stimulus of visual, auditory or sensory nature. It is based on the phenomenon observed in anticipation for a target event among non-target events. The 21-channel 201 Mitsar amplifier was used during the experiment to store EEG data from seven electrodes placed on the dedicated cap. The study was conducted on a group of five persons using P300 scenario available in OpenVibe software. The experiment was based on three steps the classifier learning process, comparison and averaging of the obtained result and the final test of the classifier. The comparative analysis was performed with the application of two supervised classification methods: Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP). The preliminary data analysis, extraction and feature selection was performed prior to the classification.

This paper presents the classification of three mental tasks, using the EEG signal and simulating a real-time process, what is known as pseudo-online technique. The Bayesian classifier is used to recognize the mental tasks, the feature extraction uses the Power Spectral Density, and the Sammon map is used to visualize the class separation. The choice of the EEG channel and sampling frequency is based on the Kullback-Leibler symmetric divergence and a reclassification model is proposed to stabilize the classifications.

Solitary pulmonary nodules are the main manifestation of pulmonary lesions. Doctors often make diagnosis by observing the lung CT images. In order to further study the brain response structure and construct a brain-computer interface, we propose an isolated pulmonary nodule detection model based on a brain-computer interface. First, a single channel time-frequency feature extraction model is constructed based on the analysis of EEG data. Second, a multilayer fusion model is proposed to establish the brain-computer interface by connecting the brain electrical signal with a computer. Finally, according to image presentation, a three-frame image presentation method with different window widths and window positions is proposed to effectively detect the solitary pulmonary nodules.
