Background:

Developing home-use brain-computer interface (BCI) systems for motor disability rehabilitation requires decoding functional movements from electroencephalographic (EEG) activity.
This research focuses on classifying complex functional upper limb movements using only pre-movement planning and preparation EEG data.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the feasibility of classifying five distinct upper limb movements based on pre-movement EEG signals.
To identify optimal signal processing and feature selection techniques for enhancing BCI performance in motor rehabilitation.

Main Methods:

EEG data from nine healthy volunteers performing five upper limb movements were analyzed.
Stationary wavelet transform extracted frequency bands, and common spatial patterns (CSP) were used for spatial filtering.
Mutual information-based feature selection and k-nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) classifiers were employed.

Main Results:

The KNN classifier achieved the highest average classification accuracy of 94.0 ± 2.7% for the five movement classes.
Gamma and beta frequency bands demonstrated the most significant contribution to accurate movement classification.
Utilizing a subset of 10 effective EEG channels (primarily prefrontal and frontal) achieved 70% accuracy, reducing system complexity.

Conclusions:

Complex functional movements can be accurately classified from EEG data recorded prior to movement onset.
Spatially selected EEG data shows promise for developing efficient and effective BCI systems for motor rehabilitation.
