Abstract

Sensorimotor rhythms (SMRs) caused by motor imagery are key issues for subject with severe disabilities when controlling home devices. However, the development of such EEG-based control system requires a great effort to reach a high accuracy in real-time. Furthermore, BCIs have to confront with inter-individual variability, imposing to the parameters of the methods to be adapted to each subjects. In this paper, we propose a novel EEG-based solution to classify right and left hands(RH and LH) thoughts. Our approach integrates adaptive filtering techniques customized for each subject during the training phase to increase the accuracy of the proposed system. The validation of the proposed architecture is conducted using existing data sets provided by BCI-competition and then using our own on-line validation platform experienced with four subjects. Common Spatial Pattern (CSP) is used for feature extraction to extract features vector from µ and β bands. These features are classified by the Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) algorithm. Our prototype integrates the Open-BCI acquisition system with 8 channels connected to Matlab environment in which we integrated all EEG signal processing including the adaptive filtering. The proposed system achieves 80.5% of classification accuracy, which makes approach a promising method to control an external devices based on the thought of LH and RH movement.
