Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are crucial for restoring function after limb loss.
  • Classifying fine-grained motor imagery (MI) tasks within the same hand presents a significant challenge.
  • Existing BCI systems often struggle with inter-subject variability and complex MI tasks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an EEG-based BCI system for classifying eleven distinct hand motor imagery (MI) tasks.
  • To investigate the effectiveness of Choi-Williams time-frequency distribution (CWD) for extracting time-frequency features (TFFs) from EEG signals.
  • To assess the system's performance using both subject-dependent and subject-independent training procedures for intact and amputated individuals.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Choi-Williams time-frequency distribution (CWD) to generate time-frequency representations (TFRs) of EEG signals.
  • Extracted five categories of time-frequency features (TFFs) from the TFRs.
  • Employed a hierarchical classification model trained with subject-dependent and subject-independent procedures.
  • Conducted channel- and TFF-based analyses to optimize feature and channel selection.

Main Results:

  • Achieved high classification accuracies for eleven hand MI tasks: up to 88.8% (intact) and 90.2% (amputated) for subject-dependent training.
  • Demonstrated robust performance with subject-independent training: 80.8% (intact) and 87.8% (amputated).
  • Identified optimal EEG channels and TFF categories for enhanced classification performance.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed EEG-based BCI system effectively classifies multiple motor imagery tasks within the same hand.
  • The approach shows significant promise for developing advanced prosthetic hand control systems.
  • Results highlight the feasibility of the system for individuals with hand amputations, offering improved functional restoration.
