Human Support

Brain machine/computer interface (BMI/BCI) technologies are based on analyzing brain activity to control machines and support the communication of commands and messages. To sense brain activities, a functional NIRS and electroencephalogram (EEG) that has been developed for that purpose is often employed. Analysis techniques and algorithms for the NIRS and EEG signals have also been created, and human support systems in the form of BMI/BCI applications have been developed. In the field of rehabilitation, BMI/BCI is used to control environment control systems and electric wheelchairs. In medicine, BMI/BCI is used to assist in communications for patient support. In industry, BMI/BCI is used to analyze sensibility and develop novel games. This special issue on Brain Machine/Computer Interface and its Application includes six interesting papers that cover the following topics: an EEG analysis method for human-wants detection, cognitive function using EEG analysis, auditory P300 detection, a wheelchair control BCI using SSVEP, a drone control BMI based on SSVEP that uses deep learning, and an improved CMAC model. We thank all authors and reviewers of the papers and the Editorial Board of Journal of Robotics and Mechatronics for its help with this special issue.

In recent years, a vast research is concentrated towards the development of electroencephalography (EEG)-based human-computer interface in order to enhance the quality of life for medical as well as nonmedical applications. The EEG is an important measurement of brain activity and has great potential in helping in the diagnosis and treatment of mental and brain neuro-degenerative diseases and abnormalities. In this chapter, the authors discuss the classification of EEG signals as a key issue in biomedical research for identification and evaluation of the brain activity. Identification of various types of EEG signals is a complicated problem, requiring the analysis of large sets of EEG data. Representative features from a large dataset play an important role in classifying EEG signals in the field of biomedical signal processing. So, to reduce the above problem, this research uses three methods to classify through feature extraction and classification schemes.

Shape Abstraction

Simple line drawings and 2D sketches are commonly used by humans to convey their ideas about a particular shape or shapes in an image. These approximations of shapes are effective means for visual communication and artistic practices. The idea of shape abstraction can be derived from such approximations of shapes, which considers their most important and salient features. The key idea behind shape abstraction is to extract a simplified version of a shape that preserves the salient characteristics of the input shape. In this paper, we introduce and analyze a slightly different and novel facet of abstraction, which we call “partial to full shape recognition” of two dimensional shapes (line drawing and sketches). The key idea is recognizing partial 2D shapes that leads to recognition of full shape utilizing the theory of recognition-by-components (RBC) and geons (human shape perception). We segment the 2D shapes according to the non-accidental relations provided by RBC and analyze the electroencephalogram (EEG) brain activity of subjects using a brain computer interface (BCI) to gain knowledge of human understanding of such relations pertaining to specific partial to full shape correspondence.

It is a significant issue to accurately and quickly extract brain evoked potentials under strong noise in the research of brain-computer interface technology. Considering the non-stationary and nonlinearity of the electroencephalogram (EEG) signal, the method of wavelet transform is adopted to extract P300 feature from visual, auditory and visual-auditory evoked EEG signal. Firstly, the imperative pretreatment to EEG acquisition signals was performed. Secondly, respectivly obtained approximate and detail coefficients of each layer, by decomposing the pretreated signals for five layers using wavelet transform. Finally, the approximate coefficients of the fifth layer were reconstructed to extract P300 feature. The results have shown that the method can effectively extract the P300 feature under the different visual-auditory stimulation modes and lay a foundation for processing visual-auditory evoked EEG signals under the different mental tasks.

A Brain Computer Interface (BCI) enables to get electrical signals from the brain. In this paper, the research type of BCI was non-invasive, which capture the brain signals using electroencephalogram (EEG). EEG senses the signals from the surface of the head, where one of the important criteria is the brain wave frequency. This paper provides the measurement of EEG using the Emotiv EPOC headset and applications developed by Emotiv System. Two types of the measurements were taken to describe brain waves by their frequency. The first type of the measurements was based on logical and analytical reasoning, which was captured during solving mathematical exercise. The second type was based on relax mind during listening three types of relaxing music. The results of the measurements were displayed as a visualization of a brain activity.

New Framework

A Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is the device that can read and acquire the brain activities. A human body is controlled by Brain-Signals, which considered as a main controller. Furthermore, the human emotions and thoughts will be translated by brain through brain signals and expressed as human mood. This controlling process mainly performed through brain signals, the brain signals is a key component in electroencephalogram (EEG). Based on signal processing the features representing human mood (behavior) could be extracted with emotion as a major feature. This paper proposes a new framework in order to recognize the human inner emotions that have been conducted on the basis of EEG signals using a BCI device controller. This framework go through five steps starting by classifying the brain signal after reading it in order to obtain the emotion, then map the emotion, synchronize the animation of the 3D virtual human, test and evaluate the work. Based on our best knowledge there is no framework for controlling the 3D virtual human. As a result for implementing our framework will enhance the game field of enhancing and controlling the 3D virtual humans’ emotion walking in order to enhance and bring more realistic as well. Commercial games and Augmented Reality systems are possible beneficiaries of this technique.

In this chapter, a nearest neighbor (k-NN)-based method for efficient classification of motor imagery using EEG for brain-computer interfacing (BCI) applications has been proposed. Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are obtained from multiple channels from brain. These EEG signals are taken as input features and given to the k-NN-based classifier to classify motor imagery. More specifically, the chapter gives an outline of the Berlin brain-computer interface that can be operated with minimal subject change. All the design and simulation works are carried out with MATLAB software. k-NN-based classifier is trained with data from continuous signals of EEG channels. After the network is trained, it is tested with various test cases. Performance of the network is checked in terms of percentage accuracy, which is found to be 99.25%. The result suggested that the proposed method is accurate for BCI applications.

Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a fundamental and unique tool for exploring human brain activity in general and epileptic mechanism in particular. It offers significant information about epileptic seizures source known as epileptogenic area. However, it is often complicated to detect critical changes in EEG signals by visual examination, since this signal aspect of epileptic persons seems to be normal out of the seizure. Thus, the challenge is to design such a robust and automatic system to detect these unseen changes and use them for diagnosis. In this research, we apply the Artificial Metaplasticity Multi-Layer Perceptron (AMMLP) together with discrete wavelet transform (DWT) to Bonn EEG signals for seizure detection goal. Significant features were then extracted from the well-known EEG brainwaves. Aiming to decrease the computational time and improve classification accuracy, we performed a features ranking and selection employing the Relief algorithm. The obtained AMMLP classification accuracy of 98.97% proved the effctiveness of the applied approach. Our results were compared to recent researches results on the same database, proving to be superior or at least an interesting alternative for seizures detection within EEG signals.
