Abstract

Brain-computer interface (BCI) instead of depending on the brain's normal output pathways, can use electroencephalogram (EEG) from the scalp as the representation of brain activity to control external devices. EEG during motor imagery (MI) provides a non-muscular communication way to control external devices and has advantage of non-invasiveness and high time resolution. However the application is still limited by time-consuming training and poor classification rate with multiple categories etc. We recorded 64-channel scalp EEG from eight healthy subjects during imagery tasks of left, right hand movements and stop. EEG was analyzed in time-frequency distribution and spatial topographies were explored too. A one versus one common spatial pattern was applied to construct feature vector and then linear discriminant analysis was used for the classification. For the purpose of real time control in the future, small training size was used and we got discrimination among three types of motor imagery at the accuracy rate about 90%.
