<p><a></a><a><i>Objective. </i></a>Modeling the brain as a white box is vital
for investigating the brain. However, the physical properties of the human brain
are unclear. Therefore, BCI algorithms using EEG signals are generally a
data-driven approach and generate a black- or gray-box model. This paper
presents the first EEG-based BCI algorithm (EEGBCI using Gang neurons, EEGG)
decomposing the brain into some simple components with physical meaning and integrating
recognition and analysis of brain activity. </p>
<p><i>Approach. </i>Independent and interactive components of
neurons or brain regions can fully describe the brain. This paper constructed a
relationship frame based on the independent and interactive compositions for
intention recognition and analysis using a novel dendrite module of Gang neurons.
A total of 4,906 EEG data of left- and right-hand motor imagery(MI) from 26
subjects were obtained from GigaDB. Firstly, this paper explored EEGG’s
classification performance by cross-subject accuracy. Secondly, this paper
transformed the trained EEGG model into a relation spectrum expressing
independent and interactive components of brain regions. Then, the relation
spectrum was verified using the known ERD/ERS phenomenon. Finally, this paper
explored the previously unreachable further BCIbased analysis of the brain. </p>
<p><i>Main results.
</i>(1) EEGG was more robust than typical “CSP+” algorithms for the
poorquality data. (2) The relation spectrum showed the known ERD/ERS
phenomenon. (3) Interestingly, EEGG showed that interactive components between
brain regions suppressed ERD/ERS effects on classification. This means that
generating fine hand intention needs more centralized activation in the brain. </p>
<p><i>Significance.
</i>EEGG decomposed the biological EEG-intention system of this paper into
the relation spectrum inheriting the Taylor series (<i>in analogy with the data-driven but
human-readable Fourier transform and frequency spectrum</i>), which offers a novel frame for analysis of
the brain.</p>
