Abstract
High-quality classification for electroencephalography (EEG) signals is a prerequisite to the use of the EEG-based brain-computer interface (BCI) technology in practical applications. Since EEG signals are non-stationary, have poor signal to noise ratio, and are contaminated with various external electromagnetic waves, it is not easy to extract the informative features of EEG signals for classification. A possible way is to integrate features from disparate channels and perspectives to capture more information. However, more features require more computational time and computer memory. In addition, some of these features do little for classification. In this paper, we adopt a fuzzy-rough selection method to select the most informative features among the candidate features. Several classifiers are used to classify the EEG signals based on the selected features. An experimental analysis illustrates the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach.
