Brain Computer Interface Enhancement by Independent Component Analysis
Abstract
Brain-Computer Interface is aimed as a direct communication pathway between human or animal brain and an external device. A reliable, accurate and fast identification of a being’s intention based on EEG signal scanning is crucial part of the system. To improve the classification accuracy we propose to use Independent Component Analysis for mi-rhythm identification in data corresponding to motor imagery task performance during Brain-Computer Interface training and operation. We show that independent components corresponding to the mi-rhythm allow for higher classification accuracy comparing to raw EEG recordings usage.
