Development of a Calibration-Free Brain-Computer Interface Utilizing Common Spatial Patterns and Artificial Neural Networks for EEG Signal Analysis

A brain computer interface (BCI) system uses a technique known calibration, that takes 20 to 30 minutes to accomplish. For the objective of creating a reliable decoder, the calibration process is challenging and expensive. In order to address the drawbacks of the current system, a spectral-spatial technique has been suggested. The motor imagery (MI) data set, comprising 15 electroencephalography (EEG) signals and fourteen test subjects, is taken into consideration. The two modules are designed to extract characteristics and process data. An artificial neural network (ANN) is used to independently train and test the suggested spectral-spatial algorithm. Based on it, a variety of machine learning techniques, including random forest (RF), neural networks (NN), and XGboost, are used to classify the data, that is then sent to the hidden layer (Lth layer). The obtained results indicates 2% of improvement in comparison with existing methodology.
