Background:

Electroencephalography (EEG) data is high-dimensional, with varying channel relevance.
Selecting optimal channels is key for efficient and robust neural dynamics analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

Introduce the Importance of Channels based on Effective Connectivity (ICEC) criterion.
Propose an unsupervised channel selection method using effective connectivity (EC).
Quantify causal influence and directional information flow between neural channels.

Main Methods:

Applied the ICEC criterion to three EEG datasets.
Utilized five effective connectivity metrics: PDC, generalized PDC, renormalized PDC, DTF, and direct DTF.
Employed Common Spatial Pattern (CSP) for feature extraction and Support Vector Machine (SVM) for classification.

Main Results:

Demonstrated consistent accuracy improvements across datasets.
Achieved significant reduction in the number of selected electrodes.
Reported highest accuracies: 82% (22 channels), 86.01% (59 channels), and 87.56% (118 channels).

Conclusions:

The proposed ICEC-based channel selection method enhances EEG data analysis.
The method offers a significant reduction in channel usage while maintaining high accuracy.
This approach represents a state-of-the-art improvement for neural data processing.
