In this research, a Brain Computer Interface (BCI) based on Steady State Visually Evoked Potential (SSVEP) for computer control applications using Support Vector Machine (SVM) is presented. For many years, people have speculated that electroencephalographic activities or other electrophysiological measures of brain function might provide a new non-muscular channel that can be used for sending messages or commands to the external world. BCI is a fast-growing emergent technology in which researchers aim to build a direct channel between the human brain and the computer. BCI systems provide a new communication channel for disabled people. Among many different types of the BCI systems, the SSVEP based has attracted more attention due to its ease of use and signal processing. SSVEPs are usually detected from the occipital lobe of the brain when the subject is looking at a twinkling light source. In this paper, SVM is used to classify SSVEP based on electroencephalogram data with proper features. Based on the experiment utilizing a 14-channel Electroencephalography (EEG) device, 80 percent of accuracy can be reached by our SSVEP-based BCI system using Linear SVM Kernel as classification engine.

A Brain Computer Interface (BCI) is the one which converts the activity of the brain signals into useful and understandable signal. Brain computer interface is also called as Neural-Control Interface (NCI), Direct Neural Interface (DCI) or Brain Interface Machine (BMI). Electroencephalogram (EEG) based brain computer interfaces (BCI) is the technique used to measure the activity of the brain. Electroencephalography (EEG) is a brain wave monitoring and diagnosis. It is the measurement of electrical activity of the brain from the scalp. Taste sensations are important for our body to digest food. Identification of disease symptoms is based on the inhibition of different types of taste and by testing them to find the normality and abnormality of taste. The information is used in detection of disorder such as Parkinson’s disease etc. It is a source of reimbursement for better clinical diagnosis. Our brain continuously produces electrical signals when it operates. Those signals are measured with the equipment called Neurosky Mindwave Mobile headset. It is used to collect the real time brain signal samples. Neurosky is the equipment used in proposed work. Here the pre-processing technique is executed with median filtering. Feature extraction and classification is done with Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). It increases the performance accuracy. The SVM classification accuracy achieved by this work is 90%. The sensitivity achieved is higher and the specificity is about 80%. We can able to predict the taste disorders using this methodology.

Classifier Training

Electroencephalogram signals and the states of subjects are nonstationary. To track changing states effectively, an adaptive calibration framework is proposed for the brain-computer interface (BCI) with the motion-onset visual evoked potential (mVEP) as the control signal. The core of this framework is to update the training set adaptively for classifier training. The updating procedure consists of two operations, that is, adding new samples to the training set and removing old samples from the training set. In the proposed framework, a support vector machine (SVM) and fuzzy C-mean clustering (fCM) are combined to select the reliable samples for the training set from the blocks close to the current blocks to be classified. Because of the complementary information provided by SVM and fCM, they can guarantee the reliability of information fed into classifier training. The removing procedure will aim to remove those old samples recorded a relatively long time before current new blocks. These two operations could yield a new training set, which could be used to calibrate the classifier to track the changing state of the subjects. Experimental results demonstrate that the adaptive calibration framework is effective and efficient and it could improve the performance of online BCI systems.

Imaginary Motor movement is an utmost important for the designing of brain computer interface to assist the individual with physically disability. Brain signals associated with actual motor movement include the signal for muscle activity whereas in case of imaginary motor movement actual muscle movement is not present .Authors have investigated the similarity/dissimilarity between the eeg signals generated in both the cases along with the baseline activity. To instruct the brain computer interface signals generated by electrodes of EEG must resemble with actual motor movement. Selection of electrodes placement plays an important role for this purpose. In this study major four regions of the brain has been covered frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital region of the scalp and features are extracted from the signals are standard deviations, kurtosis, skew and mean. Support Vector Machine is used for the classification between actual and imaginary motor movement along with differentiation between baseline and imaginary motor movement and actual motor movement at 14 different electrodes positions. Statistical performances of the classifier have been evaluated by computing sensitivity, specificity and accuracy. The location involved to achieve maximum accuracy for the classification of motor movements (actual and imaginary) and no motor movement is at frontal, temporal and parietal region

Brain Computer Interface consists of hardware and software that convert brain signals into action. It changes the nerves, muscles, and movements they produce with electro-physiological signs. The BCI cannot read the brain and decipher the thought in general. The BCI can only identify and classify specific patterns of activity in ongoing brain signals associated with specific tasks or events. EEG is the most commonly used non-invasive BCI method as it can be obtained easily compared to other methods. In this study; It will be given how EEG signals are obtained from the scalp, with which waves these frequencies are named and in which brain states these waves occur. 10-20 electrode placement plan for EEG to be placed on the scalp will be shown.

Summary Objectives: In this paper, we explored the use of quadratic classifiers based on Mahalanobis distance to detect mental EEG patterns from a reduced set of scalp recording electrodes. Methods: Electrodes are placed in scalp centro-parietal zones (C3, P3, C4 and P4 positions of the international 10-20 system). A Mahalanobis distance classifier based on the use of full covariance matrix was used. Results: The quadratic classifier was able to detect EEG activity related to imagination of movement with an affordable accuracy (97% correct classification, on average) by using only C3 and C4 electrodes. Conclusions: Such a result is interesting for the use of Mahalanobis-based classifiers in the brain computer interface area.

ABSTRACT This article presents a comparative study among people with cerebral palsy and healthy controls, of various ages, using a Brain-computer Interface (BCI) device. The research is qualitative in its approach. Researchers worked with Observational Case Studies. People with cerebral palsy and healthy controls were evaluated in Portugal and in Brazil. The study aimed to develop a study for product evaluation in order to perceive whether people with cerebral palsy could interact with the computer and compare whether their performance is similar to that of healthy controls when using the Brain-computer Interface. Ultimately, it was found that there are no significant differences between people with cerebral palsy in the two countries, as well as between populations without cerebral palsy (healthy controls).
