EEG-based BCIs enable a direct path for the human brain to communicate with external devices. The main objective of BCI is to classify brain signals to control some applications of interest. EEG is a paradigm that helps to obtain the brain signals from the different states of the human brain. EEG signal feature extraction is a critical topic in brain signal processing that has attracted great attention nowadays with the emergence of large-scale data. The focus of this paper is to reduce the dimension and redundancy of raw EEG data to facilitate retrieval of selected dynamic information. Three approaches of feature extraction and dimensionality reduction viz. PCA, LDA and ICA have been implemented on EEG datasets recorded during attention and meditation state of the brain. Moreover, as massive amount of information about the relationship between time and frequency coefficients is mostly missing in EEG dataset. hence, 1D feature set has been transformed into 2D images. The efficacy of the proposed methods has been tested through the CNN classifier for the classification of EEG signals. The experimental results show that the proposed method is able to achieve an average classification accuracy of 100%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
