  • Earth Mover's Distance (EMD) was employed for pairwise histogram distance computation.
  • A novel kernel, termed kernel EMD, was formulated using the computed distances.
  • Support Vector Classifier (SVC) was utilized for the final classification of EEG signals.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed kernel EMD method demonstrated high effectiveness in classifying EEG signals.
    • Experimental results on real EEG data showed superior accuracy compared to traditional methods.
    • The transformation of EEG signals into histograms and subsequent EMD analysis proved beneficial for classification.

    Conclusions:

    • The kernel EMD approach offers a powerful and effective new tool for EEG signal classification.
    • This method provides a significant improvement in classification accuracy, outperforming existing techniques.
    • The findings suggest broader applicability of EMD-based kernels in analyzing time-series data.
