The multi-class motor imagery based on Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals in Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) systems still face challenges, such as inconsistent accuracy and low classification performance due to inter-subject dependent. Therefore, this study aims to improve multi-class EEG-motor imagery using two-stage detection and voting scheme on one-versus-one approach. The EEG signal used to carry out this research was extracted through a statistical measure of narrow window sliding. Furthermore, inter and cross-subject schemes were investigated on BCI competition IV-Dataset 2a to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The experimental results showed that the proposed method produced enhanced inter and cross-subject kappa coefficient values of 0.78 and 0.68, respectively, with a low standard deviation of 0.1 for both schemes. These results further indicated that the proposed method has an ability to address inter-subject dependent for promising and reliable BCI systems.

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.

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.

We adopted a fusion approach that combines features from simultaneously recorded electroencephalogram (EEG) and magnetoencephalogram (MEG) signals to improve classification performances in motor imagery-based brain–computer interfaces (BCIs). We applied our approach to a group of 15 healthy subjects and found a significant classification performance enhancement as compared to standard single-modality approaches in the alpha and beta bands. Taken together, our findings demonstrate the advantage of considering multimodal approaches as complementary tools for improving the impact of noninvasive BCIs.

In an electroencephalogram- (EEG-) based brain–computer interface (BCI), a subject can directly communicate with an electronic device using his EEG signals in a safe and convenient way. However, the sensitivity to noise/artifact and the non-stationarity of EEG signals result in high inter-subject/session variability. Therefore, each subject usually spends long and tedious calibration time in building a subject-specific classifier. To solve this problem, we review existing signal processing approaches, including transfer learning (TL), semi-supervised learning (SSL), and a combination of TL and SSL. Cross-subject TL can transfer amounts of labeled samples from different source subjects for the target subject. Moreover, Cross-session/task/device TL can reduce the calibration time of the subject for the target session, task, or device by importing the labeled samples from the source sessions, tasks, or devices. SSL simultaneously utilizes the labeled and unlabeled samples from the target subject. The combination of TL and SSL can take advantage of each other. For each kind of signal processing approaches, we introduce their concepts and representative methods. The experimental results show that TL, SSL, and their combination can obtain good classification performance by effectively utilizing the samples available. In the end, we draw a conclusion and point to research directions in the future.

EEG signals could be classified into useful information for the application of Brain Computer Interface topic (BCI). In this research, we focus in a topic about driving a car using EEG signal. There are many approaches in EEG signal classification, but some approaches do not robust EEG signals that have many artifacts and have been recorded in real time.

Among various methods for frequency recognition of the steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP)-based brain-computer interface (BCI) study, a task-related component analysis (TRCA), which extracts discriminative spatial filters for classifying electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, has gathered much interest. The TRCA-based SSVEP method yields lower computational cost and higher classification performance compared to existing SSVEP methods. In spite of its utility, the TRCA-based SSVEP method still suffers from the degradation of the frequency recognition rate in cases where EEG signals with a short length window are used. To address this issue, here, we propose an improved strategy for decoding SSVEPs, which is insensitive to a window length by carrying out two-step TRCA. The proposed method reuses the spatial filters corresponding to target frequencies generated by the TRCA. Followingly, the proposed method accentuates features for target frequencies by correlating individual template and test data. For the evaluation of the performance of the proposed method, we used a benchmark dataset with 35 subjects and confirmed significantly improved performance comparing with other existing SSVEP methods. These results imply the suitability as an efficient frequency recognition strategy for SSVEP-based BCI applications.

The motor imagery-based brain-computer interface (BCI) using electroencephalography (EEG) has been receiving attention from neural engineering researchers and is being applied to various rehabilitation applications. However, the performance degradation caused by motor imagery EEG with very low single-to-noise ratio faces several application issues with the use of a BCI system. In this paper, we propose a novel motor imagery classification scheme based on the continuous wavelet transform and the convolutional neural network. Continuous wavelet transform with three mother wavelets is used to capture a highly informative EEG image by combining time-frequency and electrode location. A convolutional neural network is then designed to both classify motor imagery tasks and reduce computation complexity. The proposed method was validated using two public BCI datasets, BCI competition IV dataset 2b and BCI competition II dataset III. The proposed methods were found to achieve improved classification performance compared with the existing methods, thus showcasing the feasibility of motor imagery BCI.

Abstract Pattern Recognition is the most important part of the brain computer interface (BCI) system. More and more profound learning methods were applied in BCI to increase the overall quality of pattern recognition accuracy, especially in the BCI based on Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) holds great promises, which has been extensively employed for feature classification in BCI. This paper will review the application of the CNN method in BCI based on various EEG signals.
