초록

최근, 동작 상상(Motor Imagery) Electroencephalogram(EEG)를 기반으로 한 Brain-Computer Interface(BCI) 시스템은 의학, 공학 등 다양한 분야에서 많은 관심을 받고 있다. Common Spatial Pattern(CSP) 알고리즘은 동작 상상 EEG의 특징을 추출하기 위한 가장 유용한 방법이다. 그러나 CSP 알고리즘은 공분산 행렬에 의존하기 때문에 Small-Sample Setting(SSS) 상황에서 성능에 한계가 있다. 또한 사용하는 주파수 대역에 따라 큰 성능 차이를 보인다. 이러한 문제를 동시에 해결하기 위해, 4-40Hz 대역 EEG 신호를 9개의 필터 뱅크를 이용하여 분할하고 각 밴드에 Regularized CSP(R-CSP)를 적용한다. 이후 Mutual Information-Based Individual Feature(MIBIF) 알고리즘은 R-CSP의 차별적인 특징을 선택하기 위해 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 대뇌 피질의 운동영역 부근 18개 채널을 사용하여 BCI CompetitionIII DatasetIVa의 피험자 다섯 명(aa, al, av, aw 및 ay)에 대해 각각 87.5%, 100%, 63.78%, 82.14% 및 86.11%의 정확도를 도출하였다. 제안된 방법은 CSP, R-CSP 및 FBCSP 방법보다 16.21%, 10.77% 및 3.32%의 평균 분류 정확도 향상이 있었다. 특히, 본 논문에서 제안한 방법은 SSS 상황에서 우수한 성능을 보였다.

Recently, motor imagery electroencephalogram(EEG) based Brain-Computer Interface(BCI) systems have received a significant amount of attention in various fields, including medicine and engineering. The Common Spatial Pattern(CSP) algorithm is the most commonly-used method to extract the features from motor imagery EEG. However, the CSP algorithm has limited applicability in Small-Sample Setting(SSS) situations because these situations rely on a covariance matrix. In addition, large differences in performance depend on the frequency bands that are being used. To address these problems, 4-40Hz band EEG signals are divided using nine filter-banks and Regularized CSP(R-CSP) is applied to individual frequency bands. Then, the Mutual Information-Based Individual Feature(MIBIF) algorithm is applied to the features of R-CSP for selecting discriminative features. Thereafter, selected features are used as inputs of the classifier Least Square Support Vector Machine(LS-SVM). The proposed method yielded a classification accuracy of 87.5%, 100%, 63.78%, 82.14%, and 86.11% in five subjects("aa", "al", "av", "aw", and "ay", respectively) for BCI competition III dataset IVa by using 18 channels in the vicinity of the motor area of the cerebral cortex. The proposed method improved the mean classification accuracy by 16.21%, 10.77% and 3.32% compared to the CSP, R-CSP and FBCSP, respectively The proposed method shows a particularly excellent performance in the SSS situation.
