چکیده

In this paper we explore the use of evolutionary algorithms in a wrapper-based selection of features and the classification of P300 signals in Brain Computer Interfaces. In particular we focus on a paradigm that uses the P300 potential associated to particular visual stimuli for hands free text entering. In our experiments the GA has found new ways to process and combine EEG signals to improve P300 detection accuracy.

Applying Genetic Algorithm to EEG Signals for Feature Reduction in Mental Task Classification

Brain-Computer interface systems are a new mode of communication which provides a new path between brain and its surrounding by processing EEG signals measured in different mental states.  Therefore, choosing suitable features is demanded for a good BCI communication. In this regard, one of the points to be considered is feature vector dimensionality. We present a method of feature reduction us...

Feature Selection Using Multi Objective Genetic Algorithm with Support Vector Machine

Different approaches have been proposed for feature selection to obtain suitable features subset among all features. These methods search feature space for feature subsets which satisfies some criteria or optimizes several objective functions. The objective functions are divided into two main groups: filter and wrapper methods.  In filter methods, features subsets are selected due to some measu...

Feature selection using genetic algorithm for classification of schizophrenia using fMRI data

In this paper we propose a new method for classification of subjects into schizophrenia and control groups using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. In the preprocessing step, the number of fMRI time points is reduced using principal component analysis (PCA). Then, independent component analysis (ICA) is used for further data analysis. It estimates independent components (ICs) of...

Improving of Feature Selection in Speech Emotion Recognition Based-on Hybrid Evolutionary Algorithms

One of the important issues in speech emotion recognizing is selecting of appropriate feature sets in order to improve the detection rate and classification accuracy. In last studies researchers tried to select the appropriate features for classification by using the selecting and reducing the space of features methods, such as the Fisher and PCA. In this research, a hybrid evolutionary algorit...

Feature Selection Based on Genetic Algorithm in the Diagnosis of Autism Disorder by fMRI

Background: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) occurs based on the continuous deficit in a person’s verbal skills, visual, auditory, touch, and social behavior. Over the last two decades, one of the most important approaches in studying brain functions in autistic persons is using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). Objectives: It is common to use all brain regions in functional extracti...
