Abstract
Common Spatial Pattern (CSP) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) are usually adopted for feature extraction and classification of two-class motor imagery. However, in a motor imagery based BCI-FES rehabilitation system, stroke patients usually are not able to conduct correct motor imagery like healthy people due to the injury of motor cortex. Therefore, motor imagery EEG of stroke patients lacks of specific discriminant features as appearances of healthy people, which significantly blocks CSP to seek the optimal projection subspace. In this paper, a method, which filters EEG into a variety of bands and improves performance through boosting principle based on a set of weak CSP-SVM classifiers, was proposed to solve the problem mentioned above and was evaluated on the EEG datasets of three stroke subjects. The proposed method outperformed the traditional CSP-SVM method in terms of classification accuracy. From data analysis, we observed that optimal spectral band for classification had been changing along with rehabilitation training, which may reveal mechanisms that dominant frequency band may be changed along with rehabilitation training and spectral power distribution may be changed in different stages of rehabilitation. In addition, this work also demonstrated the feasibility of our SJTU-BCMI BCI-FES rehabilitation training system.
