Improved Filter Selection Method for Filter Bank Common Spatial Pattern for EEG-Based BCI Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose an improved filter selection method using Welch’s t-test based on discriminative filter bank common spatial pattern (DFBCSP). Existing DFBCSP used the Fisher ratio in order to find out discriminative filters. However, the Fisher ratio can be used to know only comparative value of distinguishability but may not become a meaningful criterion to reject null hypothesis. As a reasonable alternative, we have introduced the Welch’s t-test to find out not only contributory but also redundant filters used to classify features efficiently. Experimental results show that the classification accuracy increased by 1.28% on average when using the proposed filter selection method.

Classification of EEG-based motor imagery BCI by using ECOC
AbstractAccuracy in identifying the subjects’ intentions for moving their different limbs from EEG signals is regarded as an important factor in the studies related to BCI. In fact, the complexity of motor-imagination and low amount of signal-to-noise ratio for EEG signal makes this identification as a difficult task. In order to overcome these complexities, many techniques such as variou...
متن کاملTime-Constrained Filter Bank Common Spatial Pattern for Motor Imagery Brain-Computer Interfaces
One of most important tasks or key steps in the designing of an EEG-based BCI system is the optimization of spatio-temporal filters for each subject due to the poor spatial resolution of the EEG recordings, as well as the topographical arrangement and frequency specificity of brain activities. A highly popular technique for the optimization of spatial filters is Common Spatial Pattern (CSP). To...

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) are communication systems, which enable users to send commands to computers by using brain activity only; this activity being generally measured by Electroencephalography (EEG). BCIs are generally designed according to a pattern recognition approach, i.e., by extracting features from EEG signals, and by using a classifier to identify the user’s mental state from...
