Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals contain a lot of human body performance information. With the development of the brain–computer interface (BCI) technology, many researchers have used the feature extraction and classification algorithms in various fields to study the feature extraction and classification of EEG signals. In this paper, the sensitive bands of EEG data under different mental workloads are studied. By selecting the characteristics of EEG signals, the bands with the highest sensitivity to mental loads are selected. In this paper, EEG signals are measured in different load flight experiments. First, the EEG signals are preprocessed by independent component analysis (ICA) to remove the interference of electrooculogram (EOG) signals, and then the power spectral density and energy are calculated for feature extraction. Finally, the feature importance is selected based on Gini impurity. The classification accuracy of the support vector machines (SVM) classifier is verified by comparing the characteristics of the full band with the characteristics of the β band. The results show that the characteristics of the β band are the most sensitive in EEG data under different mental workloads.

Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are a valuable source of information for detecting epileptic seizures. However, monitoring EEG for long periods of time is very exhausting and time consuming. Thus, detecting epilepsy in EEG signals automatically is highly appreciated. In this study, three classes, namely normal, interictal (out of seizure time), and ictal (during seizure), are considered. Moreover, a comparative study is provided for the efficient features in literature resulting in a suggested combination of only three discriminative features, namely R'enyi entropy, line length, and energy. These features are calculated from each of the EEG sub-bands. Finally, support vector machines (SVM) classifier optimized using BAT algorithm (BAT-SVM) is introduced by this study for discriminating between the three classes. Experiments were conducted using Andrzejak database. The accomplished experiments and comparisons in this study emphasize the superiority of the proposed BAT-SVM along with the suggested feature set in achieving the best results.

Clinical Electroencephalogram (EEG) data is of great significance to realize automatable detection, recognition and diagnosis to reduce the valuable diagnosis time. To make a classification of epilepsy, we constructed convolution support vector machine (CSVM) by integrating the advantages of convolutional neural networks (CNN) and support vector machine (SVM). To distinguish the focal and non-focal epilepsy EEG signals, we firstly reduced the dimensionality of EEG signals by using principal component analysis (PCA). After that, we classified the epilepsy EEG signals by the CSVM. The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of our method reach up to 99.56%, 99.72% and 99.52% respectively, which are competitive than the widely acceptable algorithms. The proposed automatic end to end epilepsy EEG signals classification algorithm provides a better reference for clinical epilepsy diagnosis.

We propose a new technique for the automated classification of focal and nonfocal electroencephalogram (EEG) signals using Fourier-based rhythms in this paper. The EEG rhythms, namely, delta, theta, alpha, beta and gamma, are obtained using the discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-based filter bank applied on EEG signals. The mean-frequency (MF) and root-mean-square (RMS) bandwidth features are derived using DFT-based computation on rhythms of EEG signals and their envelopes. These derived features, namely, MF and RMS bandwidths have been provided as an input feature set for the classification of focal and nonfocal EEG signals using a least-squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) classifier. We present experimental results obtained from the publicly available database in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed feature sets for the automated classification of the focal and nonfocal classes of EEG signals. The obtained classification accuracy in this dataset for the automated classification of focal and nonfocal 50 pairs and 750 pairs of EEG signals are 89.7% and 89.52%, respectively.

We propose a method to detect human wants by using an electroencephalogram (EEG) test and specifying brain activity sensing positions. EEG signals can be analyzed by using various techniques. Recently, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been employed to analyze EEG signals, and these analyses have produced excellent results. Therefore, this paper employs CNN to extract EEG features. Also, support vector machines (SVMs) have shown good results for EEG pattern classification. This paper employs SVMs to classify the human cognition into “wants,” “not wants,” and “other feelings.” In EEG measurements, the electrical activity of the brain is recorded using electrodes placed on the scalp. The sensing positions are related to the frontal cortex and/or temporal cortex activities although the mechanism to create wants is not clear. To specify the sensing positions and detect human wants, we conducted experiments using real EEG data. We confirmed that the mean and standard deviation values of the detection accuracy rate were 99.4% and 0.58%, respectively, when the target sensing positions were related to the frontal and temporal cortex activities. These results prove that both the frontal and temporal cortex activities are relevant for creating wants in the human brain, and that CNN and SVM are effective for the detection of human wants.

Electroencephalogram (EEG)signals based brain-computer interfacing (BCI) is the current technology trends in the field of rehabilitation robotic. This study compared the performance of support vector machine (SVM), linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and multi-layer perceptron (MLP) classifier with the combination of eight different features as a feature vector. EEG data were acquired from 20 healthy human subjects with predefined protocols. After the EEG signals acquisition, it was pre-processed followed by feature extraction and classification by using SVM MLP and LDA classifiers. The results exhibited that the SVM method was the best approach with 98.8% classification accuracy followed by MLP classifier. Finally, the SVM classifier and Arduino Mega controller was employed for offline controlling of the gripper of the robotic arm prototype. The finding of this study may be useful for online controlling as well as multi-degree of freedom with multi-class EEG dataset.

This paper analyses the complexity of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals in different temporal scales for the analysis and classification of focal and non-focal EEG signals. Futures from an original multiscale permutation Lempel–Ziv complexity measure (MPLZC) were obtained. MPLZC measure combines a multiscale structure, ordinal analysis, and permutation Lempel–Ziv complexity for quantifying the dynamic changes of an electroencephalogram (EEG). We also show the dependency of MPLZC on several straight-forward signal processing concepts, which appear in biomedical EEG activity via a set of synthetic signals. The main material of the study consists of EEG signals, which were obtained from the Bern-Barcelona EEG database. The signals were divided into two groups: focal EEG signals (n = 100) and non-focal EEG signals (n = 100); statistical analysis was performed by means of non-parametric Mann–Whitney test. The mean value of MPLZC results in the non-focal group are significantly higher than those in the focal group for scales above 1 (p < 0.05). The result indicates that the non-focal EEG signals are more complex. MPLZC feature sets are used for the least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) classifier to classify into the focal and non-focal EEG signals. Our experimental results confirmed the usefulness of the MPLZC method for distinguishing focal and non-focal EEG signals with a classification accuracy of 86%.

In this paper, a novel feature extraction technique called SuperMNF is proposed, which is an extension of the minimum noise fraction (MNF) transformation. In SuperMNF, each superpixel has its own transformation matrix and MNF transformation is performed on each superpixel individually. The basic idea behind the SuperMNF is that each superpixel contains its specific signal and noise covariance matrices which are different from the adjacent superpixels. The extracted features, owning spatial-spectral content and provided in the lower dimension, are classified by maximum likelihood classifier and support vector machines. Experiments that are conducted on two real hyperspectral images, named Indian Pines and Pavia University, demonstrate the efficiency of SuperMNF since it yielded more promising results than some other feature extraction methods (MNF, PCA, SuperPCA, KPCA, and MMP).

Sentiment analysis is one of the popular techniques gaining attention in recent times. Nowadays, people gain information on reviews of users regarding public transportation, movies, hotel reservation, etc., by utilizing the resources available, as they meet their needs. Hence, sentiment classification is an essential process employed to determine the positive and negative responses. This paper presents an approach for sentiment classification of train reviews using MapReduce model with the proposed Kernel Optimized-Support Vector Machine (KO-SVM) classifier. The MapReduce framework handles big data using a mapper, which performs feature extraction and reducer that classifies the review based on KO-SVM classification. The feature extraction process utilizes features that are classification-specific and SentiWordNet-based. KO-SVM adopts SVM for the classification, where the exponential kernel is replaced by an optimized kernel, finding the weights using a novel optimizer, Self-adaptive Lion Algorithm (SLA). In a comparative analysis, the performance of KO-SVM classifier is compared with SentiWordNet, NB, NN, and LSVM, using the evaluation metrics, specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy, with train review and movie review database. The proposed KO-SVM classifier could attain maximum sensitivity of 93.46% and 91.249% specificity of 74.485% and 70.018%; and accuracy of 84.341% and 79.611% respectively, for train review and movie review databases.

In this paper, we will propose a novel classification method of high-resolution SAR using local autocorrelation and Support Vector Machines (SVM) classifier. The commonly applied spatial autocorrelation indexes, called Moran's Index; Geary's Index, Getis's Index, will be used to depict the feature of the land-cover. Then, the SVM based on these indexes will be applied as the high-resolution SAR classifier. A Cosmo-SkyMed scene in ChengDu city, China is used for our experiment. It is shown that the method proposed can lead to good classification accuracy.
