Abstract:
The practical applicability of brain-computer interface (BCI) technology is limited due to its insufficient reliability and robustness. One of the major problems in this regard is the extensive variability and inconsistency of brain signal patterns, observed especially in electroencephalogram (EEG). This paper presents a fuzzy logic (FL) approach to the problem of handling of the resultant uncertainty effects. In particular, it outlines the design of a novel type-2 FL system (T2FLS) classifier within the framework of an EEG-based BCI, and examines its on-line applicability in the presence of shortand long-term nonstationarities of spectral EEG correlates of motor imagery (imagination of left vs. right hand movement). The developed system is shown to effectively cope with real-time constraints. In addition, a comparative post hoc analysis has revealed that the proposed T2FLS classifier outperforms conventional BCI methods, like LDA and SVM, in terms of the maximum classification accuracy (CA) rates by a relatively small, yet statistically significant, margin.

Classification of Systems-I
Homogeneity dictates that if an input x(t) is multiplied by a constant c, the output y(t) is multiplied by the same constant. Mathematically, this is expressed as:

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
