- To validate the BCI's effectiveness using a specific dataset.
Main Methods:
- EEG data collected from 29 scalp channels across four subjects and three sessions.
- Four distinct mental tasks were performed by subjects.
- Autoregressive modeling for feature extraction and quadratic discriminant analysis for classification.
- A fivefold nested cross-validation process to optimize the autoregressive order.
Main Results:
- The BCI system demonstrated zero false positive rates.
- An average true positive rate of 67.26% was achieved.
- The chosen autoregressive order provided optimal system performance.
Conclusions:
- The developed BCI system exhibits promising performance with high true positive rates and no false positives.
- The system's simplicity, utilizing autoregressive modeling and quadratic discriminant analysis, is a key advantage.
