Abstract

Electroencephalogram (EEG)-based brain-computer interfaces (BCI) can be used for a number of purposes in a variety of industries, such as to replace body parts like hands and feet or to improve user convenience. In this paper, we propose a method to decompose and extract motor imagery EEG signal using Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT). The EEG signal classification consists of the following three steps. First, during signal decomposition, the EMD is used to generate Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) from the EEG signal. Then during feature extraction, the power spectral density (PSD) is used to identify the frequency band of the IMFs generated. The FFT is used to extract the features for motor imagery from an IMF that includes mu rhythm. Finally, during classification, the Support Vector Machine (SVM) is used to classify the features of the motor imagery EEG signal. 10-fold cross-validation was then used to estimate the generalization capability of the given classifier., and the results show that the proposed method has an accuracy of 84.50% which is higher than that of other methods.

뇌전도 기반의 뇌-컴퓨터 인터페이스는 향후 손 또는 발과 같은 신체를 대체하거나 사용자의 편의성을 제고하는 등의 다양한 목적으로 여러 산업에서 사용이 될 수 있는 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 경험 모드 분해와 고속푸리에 변환을 통해 동작 상상 뇌전도 신호를 분해하고 특징을 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 뇌전도 신호 분류 과정은 다음과 같이 3단계로 구성된다. 신호 분해에서는 경험모드분해를 이용하여 뇌전도 신호에 대한 내재모드함수를 생성한다. 특징 추출에서는 파워 스펙트럼 밀도를 이용하여 생성된 내재모드함수의 주파수 대역을 확인한 뒤, 뮤파 대역을 포함하고 있는 내재모드함수에 고속푸리에 변환을 적용하여 움직임 상상에 대한 특징을 추출한다. 특징 분류에서는 서포트 벡터 머신을 사용하여 동작 상상 뇌전도 신호에 대한 특징을 분류하고, 10-교차검증을 통해 분류기의 일반화 성능을 추정한다. 제안하는 방법은 다른 방법들과 비교하여 84.50%의 분류 정확도를 보여주었다.
