Since the first recordings of brain electrical activity more than 100 years ago remarkable contributions have been done to understand the brain functionality and its interaction with environment. Regardless of the nature of the brain-computer interface BCI, a world of opportunities and possibilities has been opened not only for people with severe disabilities but also for those who are pursuing innovative human interfaces. Deeper understanding of the EEG signals along with refined technologies for its recording is helping to improve the performance of EEG based BCIs. Better processing and features extraction methods, like Independent Component Analysis (ICA) and Wavelet Transform (WT) respectively, are giving promising results that need to be explored. Different types of classifiers and combination of them have been used on EEG BCIs. Linear, neural and nonlinear Bayesian have been the most used classifiers providing accuracies ranges between 60% and 90%. Some demand more computational resources like Support Vector Machines (SVM) classifiers but give good generality. Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) classifiers provide poor generality but low computational resources, making them optimal for some real time BCIs. Better classifiers must be developed to tackle the large patterns variability across different subjects by using every available resource, method or technology.

Brain-computer interfaces have been explored for years with the intent of using human thoughts to control mechanical system. By capturing the transmission of signals directly from the human brain or electroencephalogram (EEG), human thoughts can be made as motion commands to the robot. This paper presents a prototype for an electroencephalogram (EEG) based brain-actuated robot control system using mental commands. In this study, Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) method were combined to establish the best model. Dataset containing features of EEG signals were obtained from the subject non-invasively using Emotiv EPOC headset. The best model was then used by Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) to classify the EEG signals into robot motion commands to control the robot directly. The result of the classification gave the average accuracy of 69.06%.

Epileptic is a neural disease exemplified through untypical concurrent signal discharge from the neurons present in the brain region. This abnormal brain functionality could be captured through electroencephalography (EEG) system. Generally the observed EEG signals are examined by the experienced neurologist, which may be time consuming when observing hours of EEG signal. Therefore, this proposed work provides a fully automatic epileptic seizure detection system by means of the multi-domain features along with various machine learning algorithms. Initially, the obtained EEG signals are processed to clear noise and artefacts. Subsequently, the pre-processed signals are segregated as 5 seconds epochs and for each epoch various features are extracted from frequency domain, time domain. Additionally entropy, correlation and graph theory approaches has been used for analysis the connectivity of the brain network. Subsequently, distinguishable features are chosen carefully in this regard from the immense feature set by virtue of multi-objective evolutionary method and convincingly, classification has been performed using support vector machine(SVM).A Bayesian optimization (BaO) algorithm was utilized to optimize the SVM's hyper-plane parameters. In addition, Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (QDA), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA),Random Forest Ensemble (RFE) and k-Nearest Neighbor Ensemble (k- NNE) was also used for comparing the proposed results. These obtained results validates by considering the performance of this work is competing along with state-of the-arts approaches. The proposed work is implemented on a CHB-MIT database .The obtained performance measure of the classifiers are 99.09%, 81.49%,80.90%,76.85% and 84.14 % in SVM , LDA, QDA, k- NNE and RFE respectively. Finally SVM with Bayesian Optimization (BaO) algorithm outperforms than other classifiers with accuracy, AUC, sensitivity and specificity, as 99.09%, 99.67%, 98.06% and 98.12%, respectively.

<div>Abstract—Visual P300 mind speller is a brain-computer interface that allows an individual to type through his mind. For this goal, the subject sits in front of a screen full of characters, and when his desired one is highlighted, there will be a P300 response (a positive deflection nearly 300ms after stimulus) in his brain signals. Due to the very low signal-to noise (SNR) of the P300 in the background activities of the brain, detection of this component is challenging. Principal ERP reduction (pERP-RED) is a newly developed method that can effectively extract the underlying templates of event-related potentials (ERPs), by employing a three-step spatial filtering procedure. In this research, we investigate the performance of pERP-RED in conjunction with linear discriminant analysis (LDA) to classify P300 data. The proposed method is examined on a real P300 dataset and compared to the state-of-the-art LDA and support vector machines. The results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves higher classification accuracy in low SNRs and low numbers of training data.</div>

Electroencephalogram (EEG) is generally used in Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) applications to measure the brain signals. However, the multichannel EEG signals characterized by unrelated and redundant features will deteriorate the classification accuracy. This paper presents a method based on common spatial pattern (CSP) for feature extraction and support vector machine with genetic algorithm (SVM-GA) as a classifier, the GA is used to optimize the kernel parameters setting. The proposed algorithm is performed on data set Iva of BCI Competition III. Results show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional linear discriminant analysis (LDA) in average classification performance.

Ripe Stage

Postharvest kiwifruit continues to ripen for a period until it reaches the optimal “eating ripe” stage. Without damaging the fruit, it is very difficult to identify the ripeness of postharvest kiwifruit by conventional means. In this study, an electronic nose (E-nose) with 10 metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) gas sensors was used to predict the ripeness of postharvest kiwifruit. Three different feature extraction methods (the max/min values, the difference values and the 70th s values) were employed to discriminate kiwifruit at different ripening times by linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and results showed that the 70th s values method had the best performance in discriminating kiwifruit at different ripening stages, obtaining a 100% original accuracy rate and a 99.4% cross-validation accuracy rate. Partial least squares regression (PLSR), support vector machine (SVM) and random forest (RF) were employed to build prediction models for overall ripeness, soluble solids content (SSC) and firmness. The regression results showed that the RF algorithm had the best performance in predicting the ripeness indexes of postharvest kiwifruit compared with PLSR and SVM, which illustrated that the E-nose data had high correlations with overall ripeness (training: R2 = 0.9928; testing: R2 = 0.9928), SSC (training: R2 = 0.9749; testing: R2 = 0.9143) and firmness (training: R2 = 0.9814; testing: R2 = 0.9290). This study demonstrated that E-nose could be a comprehensive approach to predict the ripeness of postharvest kiwifruit through aroma volatiles.

Input Variables

We analyze the utility of multiscale supervised classification algorithms for object detection and extraction from laser scanning or photogrammetric point clouds. Only the geometric information (the point coordinates) was considered, thus making the method independent of the systems used to collect the data. A maximum of five features (input variables) was used, four of them related to the eigenvalues obtained from a principal component analysis (PCA). PCA was carried out at six scales, defined by the diameter of a sphere around each observation. Four multiclass supervised classification models were tested (linear discriminant analysis, logistic regression, support vector machines, and random forest) in two different scenarios, urban and forest, formed by artificial and natural objects, respectively. The results obtained were accurate (overall accuracy over 80% for the urban dataset, and over 93% for the forest dataset), in the range of the best results found in the literature, regardless of the classification method. For both datasets, the random forest algorithm provided the best solution/results when discrimination capacity, computing time, and the ability to estimate the relative importance of each variable are considered together.
